[mso] Excel Formula

  • From: "McDonald, Christine, Ms, DCAA" <Christine.McDonald@xxxxxxxx>
  • To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2005 11:46:08 -0500

I know I've done this before, but can't find the formula again.  I have
a column of data that I need to extract the 5 characters after the first
letter in cell.  So, for instance, if I have a cell that has
04421-2005B12345789-test I need to extract the 12345.  The data is not
the same length in each cell, so the text to columns or mid feature
won't work.
 
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
