Hi,
I have text in a cell in the following format:
"Country 1: Text"
The number of the country may be 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Can someone please suggest a formula to extract the text after the colon and following space. i.e. "Text" in my example?
Thanks!

Yes.
=MID(A1,FIND(":",A1)+2,99)

If your string is in A1, you could use this formula:
=IFERROR(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(": ",A1)-1),"")
It will return a blank if A1 does not contain a colon-blank.
Hope this helps.

Another option
=REPLACE(A2,1,FIND(":",A2)+1,"")
Thanks very much!
Glad we could help & thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the rep.
