I know this seems like a silly requirment, but this is then read into another workbook that generates a database.
The value In Idea Rating column also allows a formula to read if the value is low it will add a time limit into the revision due date.
The ideas column are created via VBA into hyperlinks when a new file is saved into the correct filepath.

Many Thanks

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
=IF(ISERROR(FIND("L",A2)),"","Low")&IF(ISERROR(FIND("M",A2)),"","Medium")&IF(ISERROR(FIND("H",A2)),"","High")

If the cells are always like this: Idea space 101 space then Low, Medium, or High, and all in one cell in that order, then try:

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",255)),255))

Peter beat me to it...

and 10/10 probably makes more sense here.

Actually, if the only choices are Low, High & Medium we could reduce further to this. :)

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",REPT(" ",3)),6))
