    Extracting words which meet certain criteria

    Hey guys

    I have a situation which I am hoping you guys can help me out with
    Aim – Extract every word after: and before , and put them in the appropriate headings

    I have attached my desired results in column B – E. To calculate the answer, the heading of the tile is normally just before the :
    Meaning the Answer is after the : and before the ,

    I hope this makes sense

    Looking forward to your response

    I used the text to columns function found in the Data tab of the ribbbon. Parsed using comma and colon. Then deleted the columns containing the headings.
