Trim function help needed
I have a column of data in the format of RLM.ConfigXXX.Step<>.NowXXX.aaa.bbb.cc. and expected output is "step<>".
Basically i want the oupt to trim rest of the items other than Step#.
Column Output expected
RLM.ConfigNew.Step1.Now32.New.order.camec.old Step1
RLM.Configold.Step7.Now52.old.order.camec.old Step7
Many thanks.
This will allow for up to a 2-digit nember after Step:
=SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND("Step",A1),6),".","")
