    Deliminating a text string by using formulas - HELP PLEASE!

    Hi All. I am trying to extract data from a text string by using formulas and I am having a bit of difficulty. Attached is the spreadsheet that I need help with and if you are an advance excel user, there is a "tough excel question" tab in the same workbook that i need help with. The directions are on there as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank You!

    My version here:Excel Help.xlsx

    Not sure what you want with the other tab. What makes that cell unique? You can do a simple offset
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    I was wondering if there was a way that Excel would be able to find the value in the highlighted cell without directly referencing it. Can excel use if formulas to find a color in a cell?

    No, not as a standard feature, but you can get vba code that will allow you to do that.
