    This was a fun one :)

    Hope it works:

    =MID(Address@row, FIND(", ", Address@row) + 2, FIND("~~~~~", SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(Address@row, "0", "~"), "1", "~"), "2", "~"), "3", "~"), "4", "~"), "5", "~"), "6", "~"), "7", "~"), "8", "~"), "9", "~"), FIND(", ", Address@row)) - FIND(", ", Address@row) - 3)
