Hi all,

I have the following in column A.
[TABLE="width: 1069"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]S:\Houston JIB Accounting\Outside Operated JIB's\Julie's Group JIBs\SOHAIL UPLOADS\SMR America Production Co\07-2017\0717-0070029323.xlsm

and I would like to extract 0070029323 from the string. The position of the text is always the same. it ends before the 5 characters and it is always 10 characters long.

Please advise.

[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody><colgroup><col></colgroup>[/TABLE]
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Alternatively
=LEFT(RIGHT(A1,15),10)
