    Extracting text from a cell

    Hello!

    This is probably quite basic, but I would like to know how to extract a section of a line of text, that goes as follows:

    Beam Property 213 "L2-3 SC088A"

    I would like to extract the L2-3 SC088A section.

    I knwo the Right(), Left(), and Mid() functions, but the length are all quite different, and I can't get it to find the " symbol as obviously that doesn't work.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Another formula:
    =MID(A1,FIND("""",A1)+1,LEN(A1)-FIND("""",A1)-1)
