    Solved: Selecting Definite Number of Characters in a Cell

    I have a description for a couple trucks in my inventory, rather than retyping all the mileage, I would like to select the miles out of the description.

    Example:
    14.0 Detroit 515 HP, 10 Spd OD, Engine Brake, Air Ride Suspension, 3.42 Ratio, 234" WB, 70" Double Deck Condo, 22.5LP Tires, Aluminum/Steel Wheels, Tandem Axle, 12,000# FA, 40,000# RA, 259,000 Miles

    I have tried the find, left and mid formulas but haven't put something together to work just right. I would like to select the 7 characters to the left of "Miles".

    Does anyone have any ideas?
