    Lightbulb Copy content beginning after a special Symbol

    Hey all I have looked around but could not find the correct answer I have to copy some excel content for a report. The information is downloaded from a Sharepoint database. By downloading the sistem automatically adds the assigned sistem number before the Attribute:

    276;#Electrical company S.A.

    I need to copy this clean without the automaticcally asigned number plus symbol 276;#

    I tried to apply this formula: =RIGHT(B2;(LENGHT(B2)-SEARCH("#";B2))) but this doesn´t work out I hope someone could help.

    Thank you very mu

    Which version of Excel do you have?

    Try this:

    =MID(A1,FND("#",A1)+1,99)
