Excel – formula help to extract a string

by mrmolio . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

I’m looking for the formula to help me pull string values out of a cell, based on certain characters. For example:

If A1 has the string “Mr. Jones – Managing director”

I’d like to pull out “Mr. Jones” and “Managing Director” into separate cells. I know it’s some combination of text functions, but can’t seem to get the right mix. Can you help?

thanks,
Craig
