Trim / Cut and Paste excess from the next space.

[trekker1218]

hello all,
I am currently working on a web site with a description column that cannot exceed 75 char. The data I have exceeds that in certain circumstances.
Is there a VBA or formula you all know that will do this:

Read cell content from right to left.
Stop at the 75th character
then cut all content from the next "SPACE" char. to the right and paste it to the next column on right.
SAMPLE CONTENT in COLUMN AX:
Honeywell VR8345Q4563/U 2-Stage Direct Spark/Electronic Natural/LPG Universal Standard-Opening Combination Gas Control Valve, 3/4 I

If the formula can read from right to the 75th character it would stop at the (a in universal). i need it to read to the next SPACE before the word universal. Then take everything to the right of that space and paste into COLUMN AY.

If working it the other way is easier thats fine too. If the VBA can count to the 75 Char left right. Stop. look for the previous SPACE then cut and paste all content from that space.


Is this possible.

thanks,

How about

Sub trekker1218()
   Dim x As Long
   Dim Cl As Range
   
   For Each Cl In Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      x = InStrRev(Cl, " ", 75, 1)
      If x > 0 Then
         Cl.Offset(, 1).Value = Left(Cl, x - 1)
         Cl.Offset(, 2).Value = Right(Cl, Len(Cl) - x)
      End If
   Next Cl
End Sub
