Howard,
An alternative to VBA in this case is Power Query

Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.

- Follow this link for a video which demonstrates how to use Power Query code provided.

Thanks for the updates code. For some unknown reason your old code worked

I will work but might not give the correct results if the length of the date is not the same - i.e. it is searching for the first space so if the date is written as 2022.06.9 S1 instead of 2022.06.21 S1 it might error out
