    How do i parse a text string with a date?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the help in advance.


    I have several cells with the date located at the end. However there
    are spaces at the end of the string of variable unknown length usually
    anywhere from 5-15 spaces. For example the string in quotes are


    "I need your help 12 JUN 2006 "
    "Thanks for your help 12 JUN 2006 "


    Someone earlier suggested using


    =Datevalue((Right((Cell#),11)))


    However this only works if the spaces were not there.


    Thank you.

    have a look at =TRIM(A6) this removes spaces at the start & end of a string
