Hi Johnnie,
possible solution:
B2: =--LEFT(A2,SEARCH(" ",A2)-1)
drag down.
To split a text it is easier to determine the delimiter positions in helper columns
E2: =SEARCH("x",D2)
F2: =SEARCH("x",D2,E2+1)
Now we can parse the values very easy:
G2: =--LEFT(D2,E2-1)
H2: =--MID(D2,E2+1,F2-E2-1)
I2: =--RIGHT(D2,LEN(D2)-F2)
J2: =G2*H2*I2
drag down.
BTW, the -- in front of the formulas is necessary to convert the text into numbers.
Andreas.
