Need to pull "Mortgage" out of Business Mortgage, Loan. I thought using the mid function would be the correct way to do it, I am not sure because I used the MID function and got it wrong.

If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
This is messy but does what you want...
=LEFT(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,99),FIND(",",MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,99))-1)

Maybe you applied it incorrectly?
[Table="width:, class:grid"][tr][td] [/td][td]
A​
[/td][td]
B​
[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]
1​
[/td][td]Business Mortgage, Loan[/td][td]Mortgage[/td][/tr]
[/table]

B1=LEFT(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,99),FIND(",",MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,99))-1)

Here is another formula that should do what your formula does...

=REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,FIND(",",A1),99,""),1,FIND(" ",A1),"")
