Converting Sport Result into two Columns

**pibb55** · 03-02-2011, 01:23 PM

This seems fairly simple but I have never had to do this before, and would love to the know the best way to approach this:

I am trying to "suck out" the scores of basketball teams, which are currently kept in one column, and separate them into two. The numbers will all be either two or three digits. Here are some examples of the column I am trying to suck these numbers from:

"L, 55-30"
"W, 50-35"
"W, 103-100"
"L, 86-104"

I'm looking to put whats after the space (but before the dash) into one column. In another column I want to put the number that comes after the dash.

Hope this makes sense, and thanks!

Try:

=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,FIND("-",A1)-FIND(" ",A1)-1)+0

and

=MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)+1,10)+0

where A1 contains first entry (formula assumes quotes are not part of the cell entries).

Perfect! works like a charm. Such quick response time, too. Thank you.
