Split string based on character count

Hi all,

Please help me on this:

I want to have a formula in cell “B10” that checks the number of characters in cell “A1” that contain say for example the text string “One Thousand Five Hundred Twenty Five”. When the number of characters exceeds the maximum of 20, it will trim the result to 20 characters or LESS but will still preserve the whole text prior to the maximum character limit. In this case, 20 characters will result to “One Thousand Five Hu”. With the given condition, the formula in cell “B10” must result to “One Thousand Five” thereby still preserving the complete words prior to the maximum limit.

In cell “B11”, another formula must also result in “Hundred Twenty Five” completing the whole text string in cell “A1”. I just can’t figure out what the formulas must be to have the desired results.

Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

say the string is in A1 then in Cell B1

=iferror(TRIM(LEFT(A1,FIND("@@",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","@@",20-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,20)," ","")))))),"")

then in C1
=iferror(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,"")),"")
