Hi All,

I have a set of lines similar to the one below, and I am only trying to get the text between "of" and "Jan" or any other month. The text length is different. What is an appropriate formula to get this? All help is greatly appreciated.[TABLE="width: 154"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 154"]
Sum of Salaries Jan[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Hi Giordano,

There may be multiple words but it will always fall within "of" and the last 3 characters "Month", yes the month will always be the last word. Thank you

Hi, welcome to the posting side of the forum!

Here is one option you can try:


Excel 2013/2016
AB
1Sum of Salaries JanSalaries
2Office count of supplies Marsupplies
3Count Of Christmas Trees DecChristmas Trees
4average of the month end balance of the credit card bill Junthe month end balance of the credit card bill

B1=MID(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3),SEARCH(" of ",A1)+4,255)

Based on the sample data in FormR's post, I'd suggest a slight change to eliminate the blank space being returned at the end of each of those results

=MID(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-4),SEARCH(" of ",A1)+4,255)

Another similar option:
=REPLACE(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-4),1,SEARCH(" of ",A1)+3,"")
