Taking the previous example further, if besides first and last names cell A2 also contains a middle name, how do you extract it? Technically, the task boils down to working out the positions of two spaces in the original string, and you can have it done in this way:. To find out the number of characters to return, subtract the position of the 1 st space from the position of the 2 nd space, and then subtract 1 from the result since you don't want any extra spaces in the resulting substring.
The following screenshot shows the result:. In the following screenshot, this formula is used to extract the state, and it does the job perfectly:. This example demonstrates an inventive use of a complex Mid formula in Excel, which includes 5 different functions:. Or, you can input the number of the word to extract N in some cell and reference that cell in your formula, like shown in the screenshot below:.
In essence, the formula wraps each word in the original string with many spaces, finds the desired "spaces-word-spaces" block, extracts it, and then removes extra spaces. To be more specific, the formula works with the following logic:.
You can think of an intermediate result as of "asteroids" of words drifting in space, like this: spaces-word1-spaces-word2-spaces-word3-… This "spacious" string is supplied to the text argument of our Mid formula. This calculation returns either the position of the first character of the desired word or, more often, the position of some space character in the preceding space separation.
At this point, you are left with spaces-desired word-spaces substring. Finally, the TRIM function gets rid of leading and trailing spaces. The above formula works fine in most situations. However, if there happen to be 2 or more consecutive spaces between words , it yields wrong results. The following screenshot demonstrates the improved formula in action:. I had an issue with my windows defender. I turned off my virus protection in defender and ran a codec pack at administration level.

I assume that it is running correctly. Now the problem im having is how do i get the windows 10 templates on here. I attempted to get them from microsoft but the tables available were in a different format and was not compatible. Is it supposed to be antiquated? Is there a way to reverse the xml tables into the supprted format?
Is there another option? My reason for going through this is that i got hit with an adware trojan and it decimated my group policies within my registry.

Your comment is full of nonsensical statements and hysteria. Maybe go back to writing things by hand and storing records in paper documents in filing cabinets. My Win 10 says upon running gpedit. It started to work asking if I wanted this app to make changes to my hard drive. The snap-in might not have been installed correctly. I have done everythings , but still MMC error show.
