Hello forum,
Text to Columns does not work for this text string, it is picked up from GPS data and the text strings differ.
Is there a way to use find text in string and pick out the correct data and ignore the rest!?
I attached an sample file how it looks like and the wanted result
I hope you experts here have an solution to this problem.
Happy New Year
Regards

Possibly like this, copied down:
E21 =MID($E2,FIND("Longitude",$E2)+11,9)
F21 =MID($E2,FIND("Latitude",$E2)+10,9)
G21 =MID($E2,FIND("Altitude",$E2)+10,13)
H21 =IFERROR(MID($E2,FIND("Speed",$E2)+10,13),"")

Longitude and Latitude works perfect, but wench dealing with altitude and speed it varies (not always 13 letters), for example if you have an altitude of 105.300 meters or a speed of 101.5 km/hour it fails.....
Thanks
And are you not able to tweak very slightly what I have given you to make it work?
Locked out of the Forum ... AGAIN.
See the modified formulae for the two problematic columns, in the attached sheet. I can't post the formula here cos of daft security restrictions on the forum.
