Extract IP Address from heavily populated cell
I have tried searching this forum, and Googled as well to no avail.
There is an IP address in this cell that I need to extract. Since there are multiple ":", I can't seem to find a way to get this information extracted. Any help is appreciated. Sample attached.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Is it always preceded by Source Network Address?

Yes, I checked the majority of the cells, and that seems to always be the case.
Thanks
Try this:
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND("Address",A1),30),"Source",""),"Address:",""))

Another option

Please try

Thank you all so much! Ali's worked, but as mentioned by Paul, it does append some characters on some of the results. The last 3 formulas from Paul, ChemistB, and Bo_Ry all worked perfectly.
Really?
Of the formulas provided, only Chemist's and mine seem to work for varying IP address lengths. Tested with IP's of length x.x.x.x through xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Ali and Bo_Ry's work for some of the lengths, but not all.
