    Extract characters from a string

    I need to extract specific characters from a string and return an output in another cell. See the example below. All input values will be similar formats, State-City-Element-Name. The output will contain Element and Name with the hyphens removed and the Elements and Name merged.

    Ex1 In MN-Roseville-RSV0013-A
    Out RSV0013A

    EX2 In MN-Chaska-GG13-A
    Out GG13A


    BTW - Haven't been on for a while, did we loose the ability to post pictures?
