Hi I have a text string where i want to extract the text between the 6th and 7th spaces.
The text will vary in lengths
So for example in this sentence I would like to extract the word = "I" as it falls between the 6th and 7th space
Can i use a formula?
Yes, but please give us a representative selection of data to work with first or just attach your workbook.

here's one way:
=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(" "&$A1," ",REPT(" ",125)),125*COLUMNS($A:G),125))
assumes data in A1
