If it's always the last 4 characters you want then, if your string is in cell A1, in another cell put =RIGHT(A1,4)
If you want the section after the last > that's a bit more complicated.
Thanks for the replyOriginally Posted by Andrew-R
The length is not fixed. You are right, I think I need to find the part that is after the last >.
And the number of ">"s are not fixed either.
OK, again with the data in A1 try ... =MID(A1,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(A1,">","~",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,">",""))))+1,255)
Try:
=TRIM(LEFT(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,">", REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)),LEN(A1)))
Where there is a will there are many ways.
