    Need help with text extract formula

    Hello,

    How can I get all of the text after the phrase "Detail/" in a new column? The identifier will always be "Detail/"

    Thanks,

    Assume your data is in A1 and B1 =MID(A1,FIND("Detail/",A1)+7,LEN(A1)-FIND("Detail/",A1))

    Little late to the party, but here is another 1...
    =MID(A1,SEARCH("detail/",A1,1)+7,99)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
