Hello,
I have a question on extract text from the middle. I have attached a file here. I need to extract the text after the - and drop all letters at the end.
Any help will be greatly appreciate.

Hello Al,
Thanks for the reply. When I used your formula in the test file, it works. But my column in reality is in column K. When I used your formula it, it doesn't work.I do not know why to adjust it.
Thanks for the help.

Change A2 to let say K2 leave the rest as is.
=SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(K2,LOOKUP(1,-MID(K2,COLUMN(A:XFC),1),COLUMN(A:XFC))),LEFT(K2,FIND("-",K2)),"")
Al,
It works.
Thank you very much.
