Extracting Specifc Text from Excel String (In, Out Values)
Heyas,
I copied some data from report and pasted into the excel the lines look something like this.
[Random Alphanumeric Chars of Varying Lengths] In=323 Out=69540 [Random Alphanumeric Chars of Varying Lengths].
What I am looking to do is extract the 'In' and 'Out' values into to separate columns.
I am using the following formula's but it doesn't work at all, all I am getting is #VALUE and I don't understand why.
=REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND("In=",A1)),LEN(A 1),""),1,F IND("In=", A1)+2,"")
=REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND("Out=",A1)),LEN( A1),""),1, FIND("Out= ",A1)+3,"" )
Any ideas?

Hi,
Try this one with number format, if it is working, then change the text format.

Could you provide a sample file with some of the lines you pasted? Maybe we can replicate the issue and resolve.
