I'm going round in loops trying to combine my formula
Cell text contains various make up of a text string
"Market Cap: LargeInvestment Style: Growth" (please note, there is no space between "Large" & "Investment" in all cells and the space between Style: and next word is not consistent.)

Need to get the text to become Large-Growth
these 2 parts of the string vary in each cell - Large, Mid, Small, etc.. / Growth, Value, Blend, etc...

I have made 2 formula to get part way
=SUBSTITUTE(P2,"Investment Style: ","-")
gets me to
"Market Cap: Mid-Growth"

and separately I have
=RIGHT(P2,LEN(P2)-FIND(": ",P2))
This removes the "Market Cap: " section to give
" MidInvestment Style: Growth"

So i don't have to add columns to do this in stages, was trying to get the 2 formula in to 1 column to combine the process?
Am I on the right track or is there a better option?

Try

Excel Formula:
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(P2,"Investment Style: ","-"),":",REPT(" ",99)),99))

Try

Excel Formula:
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(P2,"Investment Style: ","-"),":",REPT(" ",99)),99))
Thanks, yes that works, just an issue where the space between the last word is not consistent, so it gives either
Mid-Growth
or
Mid- Growth

Any way to remove the unwanted space?
