    Re: Extract from varied texts

    In F3 try:

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =IF(A3="","",SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A3, " ",REPT(" ",99)),MAX(1,FIND("-",SUBSTITUTE(A3, " ",REPT(" ",99)))-50),99)),"""",""))


    EDIT: It would likely help if you understood how the formulas worked. Here is a good explanation https://exceljet.net/formula/extract...-specific-text

    be aware this formula assumes there isnt another "-" (without quotes) in the string, if there is it will not work.
