Thank you! I'm glad you think so)

[@peterr.905]

@@TeachExcel I liked how you broke the concept down to bite size chunks in a logical progression. I wish some of our company's so called trainers could explain these things as well as you do.

Hi.. thanks for the video. Love that nested FIND for locating the second or third instance of a character in a string! Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up!

[@TeachExcel]

Definitely, I love FIND for small examples, and I'm sure you are already familiar with SUBSTITUTE(), which is great for the more complex ones.

Thank you, very well explained.

Hello, first of all thank you for the video, it was really helpful. I am dealing with a similar situation however my part numbers are not just separated by a hyphen. what if the part number is either split up with multiple characters. Sometimes it will be a letter, number, or special character. Is there a way to use the FIND function but have it look for multiple characters? For instance have it first search for a hyphen and if it does not find a hyphen to look for the next possible character.

I don't think this would be an issue. Ask in our forum and put some sample values in the question, or a sample file with values, and it will be easy to help :) www.teachexcel.com/talk/microsoft-office?src=yt_comment

I'm trying to get only the first word after a certain character (ie,#) but I can't seem to. I'm using MID(A1,SEARCH("#",A1)+1,SEARCH(" ",A1)-SEARCH("#",A1)-1) Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
