I need ONLY the IP address.
My problem is consistent.... on smaller IP addresses, no matter what formula I use (RIGHT,LEFT,TRIM,CONCAT), I always end up with an empty space at the end of IP addresses that end in two numbers, and a space and dash on IP addresses that end in single numbers. Can someone help please?

Wow!!!! Amazing rapid responses!!!!

AliGW:
Thank you for editing my thread title to something more appropriate.

Both AliGW and Richard:
That is genius using the space and dash as a delimiter. Sometimes it's just so simple and my brain makes it so complicated.

Verified... Both methods worked for this scenario!

Thank you both!
