Thanks in advance for your help. I am looking for the text function that would return a substring matching a specific pattern from cells in a table. The substring position in the text is variable (beginning, middle or end), but always the same. Here are some sample cell values in Table, column 'Search Instance' (column C of worksheet)

GNRG000885 9117/2019 .. ChaS.e Fraud: Did you use
the property owner. GNRG000908 Dan Ke , PresiJ, _ , 10A /20
Bond Number: 63528033). GNRG000001

Need to extract the text GNRGXXXXXX from each.

Thanks!
