Hello, starting from this sheet with column A (title, responsibility, publisher) I would need a formula that extracts only the publisher in column C. I used this formula:

Rich (BB code):
= LEFT (MID (A2, FIND ("-", A2) +1, LEN (A2)), FIND (",", MID (A2, FIND ("-", A2) +1, LEN (A2))) ) -1)

but column C gives me the place of publication and the publisher. I would like instead only the publisher.

Many thanks!!

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Ok, how about
Excel Formula:
=MID(REPLACE(A2,FIND(",",A2),LEN(A2),""),FIND(":",REPLACE(A2,FIND(",",A2),LEN(A2),""),FIND("-",REPLACE(A2,FIND(",",A2),LEN(A2),"")))+2,LEN(A2))
Sorry, If column A had this type of formatting could the publisher be obtained?
In this case it is placed between the last closing round parenthesis ) and the next comma.
Thanks much!

How about
Excel Formula:
=LEFT(MID(A2,FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(A2,CHAR(10),"^",LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,CHAR(10),""))))+1,LEN(A2)),FIND(",",MID(A2,FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(A2,CHAR(10),"^",LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,CHAR(10),""))))+1,LEN(A2)))-1)

Sorry Fluff, the very last question. If I wanted to extract from the last file the responsibilities (author, editors, but not the translators!) placed between the writing (condividi) and the last closing round parenthesis )? Thanks again!

Nearly perfect! I was looking for excluding the translator from the responsabilities. In other word I would like only the text in black bold fron the file...

That will be difficult as there is no obvious way to determine what to return.
