    Maybe this...

    =MID(F1,FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(F1,":","^",2))+1,999)

    Neat - but won't work if there are more (or less) than 2 colons in the original text.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    How many colons do you see in the provided sample?

    I try to not account for things that may not exist. If there might be more semi-colons then the OP will post back and tell us.
