Hi,
I have the following data in cell A1 of an excel sheet:

<IntegrationId>392110000112001001</IntegrationId><ProductStoreInfo><AccountProduct><StoreId>00019</StoreId><ActiveToDate/>

i would like to extract the <StoreId> value from this and print it on the adjacent cell.
i would like 00019 printed on the cell B1.

any help would be much appreciated.


regards,
Alvin

In B1 type the formla

=SEARCH("storeid",A1)

C1 the formula is

=SEARCH("storeid",A1,B1+1)

in D1 the formula is

=MID(A1,B1+LEN("storeid")+1,C1-B1-LEN("storeid")-3)

D1 will give you what you want,. (00019)

It is possible to combine all the three formula and give one formula
but this is easier to debug.

Thank you so much for this formula. I have been trying to solve an issue for a couple of days now - after a lot of struggle I landed up on this page and your formulas worked great. One request - could you also explain what your formulas are doing on each column - it did not make a lot of sense to me.
