    Extract data right of certain word in text

    I want to return the 7 letters of text that appears after the word Timer in cell A1. So cell A1 will be a sentence with the word Timer in it somewhere and I want to return the 7 characters after it appears.

    I should also add that after the word timer and the 7 characters there will be more text.

    "I want to return the 7 letters"
    "I want to return the 9 characters"

    7 letters after or 9 letters after, which is it?

    I'll assume 7

    =MID(A1,SEARCH("Timer",A1)+5,7)

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
