    Hi,

    It is hard to help specifically without knowing what the criteria for the words to bring over are. I want to provide a potential solution, so you might be able to tweak this if it isn't exactly what you are looking for. Here is a solution assuming that you want to pull the word between the "<" symbols and calling the column you are pulling from [Data]:

    • =MID([Data]@row, FIND(" >", [Data]@row) + 2, FIND(" > ", [Data]@row, FIND("> ", [Data]@row) + 2) - (FIND(" > ", [Data]@row) + 2))

    I hope this helps!

    Best,
