This solution only works for one first word. Sample " Blue, Silver, line of production mixed with Red, Gold 258" ..... In this sentence, I need to single out the following words and numbers. In two different TextBoxes. I really need help with this program line. I don't have much experience with excel vba. "Blue, Silver and Red, Gold 258".

Private Sub CommandButton207_Click()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Models")

ws.Range("K71") = Left(ws.Range("K70"), (Application.WorksheetFunction.Find((","), ws.Range("K70"), 1) - 1))

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Can you be more specific about the algorithm to extract words from the sentence? How do we know that "Blue, Silver" goes into one textbox and "Red, Gold 258" into the second?

I have over 6000 sentences of a similar type and on each sentence I need to separate the first two words which are separated by a comma in a separate Textbox for further manipulation and copying. The first two words in this example are Blue, Silver and they should be transferred to textbox1 and the last two words Red, Gold 258 goes to TextBox2. So formula should always copy the first two words and the last two words in a sentence, and there are about 6,000 of them. I only managed to copy the first word with this formula. I hope I was clear this time. :)

"Red, Gold 258" looks like two words and a number to me.

Do you have additional examples?

You haven't given enough detail to write code specific for you. I don't know what your textboxes are called or where they are located. But this should give you the idea:

VBA Code:
   Dim A As Variant

   A = Split(ws.Range("K70"), " ")
   TextBox1 = A(0) & ", " & A(1)
   TextBox2 = A(UBound(A) - 1) & ", " & A(UBound(A))
