instead of formula better to use Text To Column Function of excel is good.

Tab - Data - Data Tools - Text To column

Assuming Your Data is in Cell A1

Than Formula is

=MID(A1,FIND(":",A1)+2,2)

Open in new window

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(":",A1,FIND(":",A1)+1))

Open in new window

Assuming you want only two characters From remote from.

=MID(A1,FIND(":",A1)+2,2)

Open in new window

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-(FIND(":",A1,FIND(":",A1)+1)+1))

Open in new window
