Dave

I will like to create a formula that will extract dava
from a column of text that has quatation. So in the
column any text that has "" in the word extract it.

Any ideas?

I tried everything.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your prompt responce. Let say I have a data in
a1 with the content "purple" is nice. I want to extract
just the word purple.
