    Post a small sample workbook

    Re: delete specific word from string

    Noob,
    Your code works fine only when it is like this:
    3M Inc it gives me 3M so this is good
    But when i have something like this:
    Teleflex Medical Incorporated then it gives me Teleflex Medicalorporated
    Thank you for your help. See attached for more details.
