Formula Help
Hello All
I have a formula that parses out data here is the code, listed below. It works fine, until today. I get an error value when this set of data appears, listed under the formula. I am trying to parse out the time, which is normally looks for the first Z, however in the data, the first Z is in the station identifier, i need to look for the second Z and then parse out the number. How do i modified this code to handle these instances. Thanks
=IF(MID('Parsed Data'!A1,FIND("Z",'Parsed Data'!A1)-4,2)="23",0,MID(
