Extract specific text from string of multiple Rows.

[mchilapur]

Hi All,
I have a string in below format

"If you want to ge the information, SEE 123D 4567C IN Database".

I want to extarct the text value (Its Alpha-Numeric) between "SEE" and "IN".

Means, output must 123D 4567C.

I have nearly 2000 rows, but all have the string in same format. Only Values between "SEE" and "IN" differ.

Please help.
Thanks.

Try

=MID(A1,FIND(" SEE ",A1)+5,SUM(FIND({" IN "," SEE "},A1)*{1,-1})-5)

If you want to do this in a helper column with a formula...

1. If the format of the data you want to extract is always teh same - 10 characters...
=MID(A1,SEARCH("see",A1,1)+4,10)

2. if the format is not always teh same...
=MID(A1,SEARCH("see",A1,1)+4,(SEARCH(" IN ",A1,1))-(SEARCH("see",A1,1)+4))

copied down

=MID(A1,SEARCH("see",A1,1)+4,(SEARCH(" IN ",A1,1))-(SEARCH("see",A1,1)+4))
works fine...
Thanks a lot...

Can it be not be done throught VBA..?
