Thanks to FormR who supplied me with -
=TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(D189,FIND(" 1"," "&SUBSTITUTE(D189,"2","1")),LEN(D189))," ",REPT(" ",5)),5))
I am able to extract the 'numbers' from the text string as can be seen here.
But I'd like to go a step further. Is it now possible to extract the names following the 'nimbers' I wonder. ie Romford, Sunderland, Peterborough and Doncaster ?? I would be happy to settle for the first 4 letters in each one if option A is not possible. Any help greatly appreciated.
