Extract only part of a string

[andreas]

Dear Experts:

I got the following string in a cell:

string,space,string, e.g.: New York Street 7, New York 54334 or
Green Street, 74334 St. Petersburg.


I would like to apply a formula to all these cells so that all the
characters before the comma are cut out and only the string after the
comma is left over, e.g. New York 54334 or 74334 St. Petersburg

Help is much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
Regards, Andreas

If you had the string in cell A1:

=TRIM(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(",",A1)))

On the off change that some of your text could contain more than one comma,
like for instance...

123 Main St, Apt 4, New York 56789

then you can use this formula to get the text that you want...

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",REPT(" ",99)),99))

This works for me:
Sub Commas()

'Do Until ActiveCell = ""
For X = 1 To 1
Dim Rng As Range

Set Rng = Range("A1", Range("A100").End(xlUp))
For Each cell In Rng

If cell.Value <> "" Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=MID(RC[-2],FIND("","",RC[-2]&"","")+2,999)"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -2).Select
End If

Next cell

Next X
'Loop

End Sub

Hi Rick,

thank you very much for your professional help. I tried it out and I
keep getting error messages. I have translated the function arguments
into German (having the german version of Excel). Maybe therefore the
errors. I will keep you updated.

Regards, Andreas
