Hello,
I am new to excel. The task is difficult for me now.

I need to find a particular word from a sentence with the use of wild cards & paste the same word (if found) in another cell.

Eg:
'Server d23bes60 is Down'
I have the above sentence in A1. I need to check if there is any word starting with 'd23' if found i need the out put as 'd23bes60'

Thanks for the reply. Its an urgent case.

Regards,
Harsha

Yes, I am always looking for D23.

there are lot of words which starts with D23 eg. d23bes60, d23bes23, d23bes54, d23bes91, d2311111.

So i need a formula to pick the word from a sentence which starts from D23....

Thanks for ur response.

Another Clause:

If there is no word starting with "D23" then the output should come as "0" or "NA"
