Extract first 3 letters after the first space

Hannah_H

Hello,

I'm looking to extract the first 3 letters in the word that follows the first occurence of a space. Here are some examples:

Budgeting
Building Relationships
Changing the Language

Holding People Accountable

For "Budgeting" it's fine to return nothing.

For Changing the Langauge I would want to return Lan…so maybe I'm actually looking to return the first 3 letters after the second capital letter?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Hannah_H

Based on the test below this formula should do what you need:

=IFERROR(MID([Column2]@row, FIND(" ", [Column2]@row, (FIND(" ", [Column2]@row) + 1)), 4), IF(FIND(" ", [Column2]@row) = 0, "", MID([Column2]@row, FIND(" ", [Column2]@row) + 1, 3)))

It is only set up for sentences with up to two spaces, anything with more spaces will still return the 3 letters following the second space.

Hope that helps

Thanks

Paul
