G'day there Ron,
Hmmm... If that's the case, then I guess I need to read up
on add-ins.
In this case, using regular expressions through VBA, it may be more efficient
to use the VBA method I posted or, if you want to use worksheet functions, to
rewrite it as a function.
If you do decide to use Longre's stuff as a function, you could use the same
pattern, and the formula would be:
=REGEX.MID(A1,"[0-9:]+(\s?[ap])?")
