Hi, I have a column with a text string in a cell (google sheet) from which I need to extract the words after "Student Username: " and cannot find a working solution, so in below case the result would be aaaa1, bbbb@1, cccc.1
Any hint? Thank you!
Student Username: aaaa1
Student Firstname: aaaa
Student Lastname: aaaa
Student Username: bbbb@1
Student Firstname: bbb
Student Lastname: bbbb
Student Username: cccc.1
Student Firstname: cccc
Student Lastname: cccc

Trevor - mine extracts everything after the colon (which is after the username or firstname), but I'd like feedback from the OP one way or the other. Where there are no expected results, one has to make assumptions! And he's seen the suggestion - common courtesy requires some response from him.

Ali: you misunderstand me. From the expected output (aaaa1, bbbb@1, cccc.1), it looks as though the OP is only interested in extracting values from records with Student Username. Not sure if he would be hoping for blank records to be ommitted.
As you say, probably best to wait for feedback from the OP.
Thank you! Unfortunately it does not work.Originally Posted by AliGW
That is not helpful in remedying the problem. In what way does it "not work"? Not return what you want? Return to many records? Error message? What??Thank you! Unfortunately it does not work.
