Excel Formula: Getting the city name - non-US

[kingfsx]

Hi all,

First and foremost, I want to thank who will help since I'm new with excel's formula

Here is my data:

SM NORTH EDSA PAG ASA 1, QUEZON CITY, 1105
4390 DAYAP COR. CUENCA STS., BRGY., PALANAN, MAKATI CITY
RM 313 LAPERAL BLDG. SESSION ROAD, BAGUIO CITY

I just want to extract the city name, all addresses includes the word CITY... and I want to get the previous word which is the actual city name.

I should be able to extract from the data above:
QUEZON
MAKATI
BAGUIO

Then afterwards, I want to delete the following from the data:
QUEZON CITY
MAKATI CITY
BAGUIO CITY

Thank you!!!!

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

I assume that it is possible to have a city name consisting of more than one word, so try this

<b>City</b><br /><br /><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font-family:Arial,Arial; font-size:8pt; background-color:#ffffff; padding-left:2pt; padding-right:2pt; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:478px;" /><col style="width:140px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >A</td><td >B</td></tr><tr style="height:21px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td style="font-size:10pt; ">SM NORTH EDSA PAG ASA 1, QUEZON CITY, 1105</td><td style="font-size:10pt; ">QUEZON</td></tr><tr style="height:21px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >3</td><td style="font-size:10pt; ">4390 DAYAP COR.

For the second part, can you clarify exactly what the results should be for that sample data?
