Good morning,

I got about 6000 items with sizes in them. In this case I need to extract those sizes to another column. So In case of the first line I need to get '6x2 mm' into a separate column. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you for your time and have a great day.

That woud only work if the first measurement was always the 4th piece in.

Re post #6
Yes, that is correct.

The formula TEXTBEFORE(TEXTAFTER(A1," ",3)," ",2) does provide a solution to the question with the data provided.
"I need to get '6x2 mm' "
