    Formula to get the middle word

    Hi,

    Can someone help me to come up with the formula to get the middle word for this example:

    0001 AB10846 Group Assoc NetAdmn
    0001 AB10854 Indv Func NetAdmn
    .
    ..
    ... and so on.

    For the 2nd word I have this formula:

    =TRIM(IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ",C1,1)),C1,MID(C1,FIND(" ",C1,1)+1,IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ",C1,FIND(" ",C1,1)+2)),LEN(C1),FIND(" ",C1,FIND(" ",C1,1)+2))-FIND(" ",C1,1))))

    And now I need to get the 3nd and 4th word separately.

    I appreciate your help.

    Thanks!

    In A1 Cell

    0001 AB10846 Group Assoc NetAdmn

    In B1 Cell

    =IFERROR(REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1),""),FIND(" ",REPLACE(A1,1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1),"")),5^5,""),"")

    Hi!

    How about getting the 4th word "Assoc"? My apologies as I am not that expert in complex formulas...

    Thanks!

    Re: Formula to get the middle word

    Assuming that your number in a1 cell
    B1 =MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(" "&$A1&" "," ","#",COLUMN()-1)," ","$",COLUMN()-1),1+FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(" "&$A1&" "," ","#",COLUMN()-1)," ","$",COLUMN()-1)),FIND("$",SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(" "&$A1&" "," ","#",COLUMN()-1)," ","$",COLUMN()-1))-FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(" "&$A1&" "," ","#",COLUMN()-1)," ","$",COLUMN()-1))-1)
    then drag right

    Mine is not efficient as Sixthsense's solution but its just an alternative.

    Just added another find within the find function

    =IFERROR(REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1)+1),""),FIND(" ",REPLACE(A1,1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1)+1),"")),5^5,""),"")
