This is a slightly different take on a previous question I asked. I tried to modify the great advice I received but couldn't quite get there.
I am looking to find text in a cell (not case specific), then return the preceding word plus the found text. I prefer a formulaic solution (over a macro).
Sample cell contents include the following where I'm looking for " TRUCK ":
"This is a test dump TRUCK like it 54" - I want " dump TRUCK "
"This is pick-up Truck forgot 346 I like" - I want " pick-up Truck "
I tried some combo of the Mid() function but wasn't quite getting it:
=MID(B2,(FIND("Truck",B2,1)-1),FIND(" ",B2,FIND("Truck",B2,1)-1)-FIND("Truck",B2,1)+1)
Thanks for the help!
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(B2,SEARCH(" Truck ",B2)+5)," ",REPT(" ",99)),199))
LEFT(B2,SEARCH(" Truck ",B2)+5)
gets the " This is a test dump TRUCK
" part.
Then SUBSTITUTE( ^ ," ",REPT(" ",99))
gets:
This is a test dump TRUCK
and =TRIM(RIGHT( ^ ,199))
gets the last 2 words from the above and removes the extra spaces.
