    Split words to another column from chosen word

    Giday to all

    There are several rows in the spreadsheet with addresses in Column C. I want to split the rest of the words that start with "from" and split these words to another column. Or if possible, to delete the words that start with "from". Because the spreadsheet has already have the street names in other columns (Columns D & E)
    I've enclosed the file for a better understanding.

    Thank you

    This should do it

    =SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(C3,FIND("from",C3)-2),"Surface - ","")

    Fantastic, thanks so much for the useful formula Crooza. I wish I can see many other similar functions available for splitting and deleting the columns

    Thanks Alkey.
    This did not work with Column D (that when I created another column to make it D) but it did work in Column M !!
    I wonder why.
    This same with Crooza's formula too.
