In column E I have this formula
=IF(G16="","", IF(COUNTIF(G16,"*Canon*"),TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(G16,FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(G16," "," ",3))+1, LEN(G16))," ",REPT(" ",LEN(G16))),LEN(G16))), "False"))

In Column G I have this text
Canon GPR-53C Compatible Cyan Toner Cartridge

The formula returns this:
GPR-53C

I want to return this with no dash:
GPR53C

I used this formula to remove the dash and get "GPR53C"
=SUBSTITUTE(E16,"-","")
but I don't know how to merge the upper formula and lower formula to remove the dashes.

Can you help?
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
maybe

=IF(G16="","", IF(COUNTIF(G16,"*Canon*"),substitute(TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(G16,FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(G16," "," ",3))+1, LEN(G16))," ",REPT(" ",LEN(G16))),LEN(G16))),"-",""), "False"))

This worked. Thanks
