    find and replace

    hii guys

    i have a column where the sponsor has a name of a race and i wish to remove the sponsors name and replace it with something of the sentence

    for example

    Barton And Guestier Top Novices' Hurdle Class A Grade 2

    i wish to just locate the Novices' Hurdle part and change that particual cell to nov hurdle without the sponsors name
    is it easy to extract this info

    thanks in advance

    i could do them all manually but i have over 8000 lines to do

    Does this work for you?

    =MID(A1,FIND("Novice",A1,1),100)
