    How to extract all characters after a specific word?

    Hi all,

    I need help on the relevant formula to extract all characters after a specific word used in a text.

    Column A of my Excel Worksheet has the following information (extract):

    HotelABCLtd
    HotelCoindeMire
    HotelTropical Hotel Ltd
    HotelParadise Hotel

    This is my expected output (I need to get rid of the word Hotel at the beginning of each Text):

    ABC Ltd
    CoindeMire
    Tropical Hotel Ltd
    Paradise Hotel


    Assuming the first text is located at A1, what would be the formula to achieve this extraction?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Try

    =SUBSTITUTE(A1,"Hotel","",1)
    or
    =MID(A1,6,LEN(A1)-5)

    Or try:

    =IF(LEFT(A1,5)="Hotel",REPLACE(A1,1,5,""),A1)
