Hi All, can any one please help me get the below result in excel ?

Sentence :

[TABLE="width: 241"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 241"] Again, this company is the best and pioneer on the trend. This is the reason why I will recommend this company.[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


From the above sentence, if i find the word company, i need to extract 2 words left to it and 2 words right to it.

Ex: Again, this ( 2 words left)
company (the word to be searched for)
is the ( 2 words right)


Notice : the word company is repeated at the end of the sentence too, you may ignore that instance,


Thanks in advance.
Iam doing sentiment analysis, request some one to help.

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Possibly as below, but what should happen if the first "company" in the cell is the first or second word, or second last or last word?

Iam doing Text-mining (sentiment analysis), based on the above formula, i will get the 2-3 words to right and left of it, so i will again use another formula (the result is now a short uncompleted sentence) to search for positive and negative words , and determine if the sentence is positive or negative, and further get a positive and negative score for it.

Thank you somuch MASTER for the quick reply, truly sorry for the delayed response, i apologize.

I have tried the solution you gave, its GIVES ME what I NEED...! Than you..! ITs Awesome..

But there is a minor change i need in that.

Instead of manually inputting the search keyword "company" in the formula, if i give cell reference, it doesnt work, request you please help me with this ..

=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(" "&A1," ",REPT(" ",50)),SEARCH("company",SUBSTITUTE(" "&A1," ",REPT(" ",50)))-150,300)) = WORKS PERFECTLY

=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(" "&A1," ",REPT(" ",50)),SEARCH(C1,SUBSTITUTE(" "&A1," ",REPT(" ",50)))-150,300)) = ERROR, AS I GAVE CELL REFERENCE = C1.

Sorry for re-request, i should have been more clear earlier, but i was experimenting to build a sentiment analysis model based on the key word search.

Also, the key word "company" can be replaced with 2-3 words some times,or even more in some cases, ( based on the lexicons classifications for positive and negative i defined)
so i request for the formula should be able to work for this situation, if this is more complex , you may ignore.

But i please request to provide solution for the changes.


to extract key word i use this formula : ={INDEX(job_desc,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(SEARCH(job_desc,K2)),0))}
named range used : job_desc


Sorry again, thanks in advance. Please help me.

Try this version. It should work for 1 and up to about 10 words.
