Hi,

I am currently trying to pick out our order numbers beginning 'RVW0' from cells with long strings of text.

I have succeeded so far... however! Some idiot has been using underscores and now they're messing up my sheets! I need my formula to ignore everything either side of the order number as well as underscores now.

Please see my current formula and let me know how I can include the removal of underscores and words after it.

=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(Transactions!Q1," ",REPT(" ",99)),MAX(1,FIND("RVW0",SUBSTITUTE(Transactions!Q1," ",REPT(" ",99)))-50),99))

I'm giving myself a migraine trying to figure it out myself. But I know it won't be anything harder than the formula I currently have ?

Please help!
