Answer 1

Stackoverflow has many posts about adding regular expressions to Excel using VBA. For your particular example, you would need VBA to actually move a substring from one cell to another.

If you simply want to copy the substring, you can do so easily using the MID function:

=IFERROR(MID(A1,FIND("=",A1)+1,999),A1)

I used 999 to ensure that enough characters were grabbed.

IFERROR returns the cell as-is if an equals sign is not found.

To return the portion of string before the equals sign, do this:

=LEFT(A1,FIND("=",A1&"=")-1)

In this case, I appended the equals sign to A1, so FIND won't return an error if not found.

You can use the Text to Column functionality of MS-Excel giving '=' as delimiter.
