    You would use something along the lines of

    =IFERROR(MID("!" + [Work Type]@row + "!", FIND("~", SUBSTITUTE("!" + [Work Type]@row + "!", "!", "~", 1)) + 1, FIND("~", SUBSTITUTE("!" + [Work Type]@row + "!", "!", "~", 2)) - (FIND("~", SUBSTITUTE("!" + [Work Type]@row + "!", "!", "~", 1)) + 1)), "")


    The above example will pull the first selection.


    You will also see three bold numbers in the example above that go 1 2 1. To pull the second entry, you would update these to be 2 3 2, the third entry would be 3 4 3, and the fourth entry would be 4 5 4.
