Hi, I am having an issue in creating a formula for a task. I have a column of cells that contain a massive string. This string holds the name of a user in between the characters "CN=" and ",OU".
I am currently using this formula: =IFERROR(MID(LEFT(F5,FIND(",OU",F5)-1),FIND("CN=",F5)+3,LEN(F5)), "Orphan")
This works for the first value, but I would like for it to continue to extract substrings until the cell is empty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
an example string would be helpful!
Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.
