    Pulling out 1/2 char strings into other columns.

    Hi all,

    I'm new to this, and trying to get a spreadsheet organised for my nba fantasy team. To save time, (and me having to enter the positions of 300ish people individually) I'm trying to pull out their positions into seperate colums.

    The data I am trying to pull is from these:

    Jarrett Jack, Ind PG
    Gerald Wallace, Cha SF, PF

    =IF(FIND("PG",$B2),"PG","")

    That is the formula I am trying to use, it finds the PG for some, but when it doesn't it gives me this "#VALUE!" in the cells, instead of a blank as I have tried to input.

    Now, there are 5 combinations that I am trying to pull out: PG, SG, SF, PF and C.

    There are multiple combinations that need to be pulled out, and placed into my 3 cells allocated (EG - 1 for Pg, 1 for SG, 1 for SF).

    I have also found a flaw that takes the C from Cha (being the team) instead of from the position. Can I search for a individual C? I've tried to google these things, but I can't find an answer.

    If you need more information, tell me how to put my sheet on here to show you, I would appreciate any help you can give me.

    Thanks.
