Hi,
I have a list of names that contain a design name and the artist and looks like this
Design 1 BY Artist 1
What formula can I use to extract and separate all the data before and after the word BY so I have Design 1 in the 2nd column and Artist 1 in the 3rd column?
Thanks in advance for any help

id just replace " by " with say ^ then use ^ as a delimiter in text to columns
buy failing that
in col b use
=TRIM(LEFT(A1,SEARCH(" by ",A1)-1))
and in c
use
=TRIM(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(" by ",A1)-2)) note the spaces either side of "by" incase you had a name like "Trenby"
