I used the right formula to remove the upc# and it worked. I tried the mid formula, but it did not work. The date is formatted like so "songs by josephh, joseph (60909) 0055677186".

I am going to structured solution.
suppose A1 has this entry
songs by josephh, joseph (60909) 0055677186
in B1 type the formula
=SEARCH("(",A1,1)
in C1 type this formula
=SEARCH(")",A1)
in D1 type this formula
=MID(A1,B1+1,C1-B1-1)
you will get
60909
is this what you want
of course you can combine the formula in B1 and C1 into D1. But I am doing this so that you can understand the process of this formula
for upc# you have already succeeded
suppose A1 has this entry

Yes. do not hesitate to ask questions.
search functions finds the where some sub string occurs in a string
suppose in A1 the entry is
songs by josephh, joseph (60909) 0055677186
=search("(",a1) gives 26
that means the first "(" occurs on the 26th character (count including spaces)
there is a third argument here suppose 1 which means occurrence after 1st character
suppose there is another (" after the first "(" and if you want to find that position then you type
=search("(",a1,27) or if you want to be more sophisticated
=search("(",a1,search("(",a1))+1))
I am sure you know of "mid" function ( and also left and right)
I hope this explanation will be of help to you. greetings
if you do some exercises of small strings you can get the hang of it;.

Hello,
I have another question. I have two worksheets. One worksheet tracks the sale of items and list the monitary amount of those sales. The other worksheet list the product and date to be sold. I want to link the worksheets so that when the sales on an item reach a certain dollar amount , the sell date on the other sheet will change to red. Is this possible...

your use two terms "item" and "product". I take it they are the same
your sheet named sheet1 is something like this(a1 down)
product amount
a 1
s 2
d 3
f 4
sheet2 is like this
product date
f 8/1/2009
d 8/2/2009
s 8/3/2009
a 8/4/2009
right click sheet1 tab(repeat sheet1 tab) and click view
in the window that comes up copy this "event handler "(something like a macro but pertaining to a particular sheet and the macro automatically runs if a condition is met)
I have condition as the amount is greater than 25(8th line in the code) . you can modify it to suit you in your file
copy this experimental file(copy sheet 1 and sheet 2 in a new file). now change any amount (that is any cells in column B of sheet1 from B2 down) into some number more than 25 and see what happens in sheet2. the date of the corresponding product is colored red. change another amount in sheet1 into more than 25 and see what happens in sheet2.
if this is what you want do the same thing to your original file.
post feedback particularly if there is any bug
