I have a worksheet extracted from another program with financial data
in it. One of the columns contains information about what money has
been spent on. This consists of a category and a subcategory. For
example one cell might read "Bills : Electricity" or "Going out :
Restaurant". The category and the subcategory are always separated by
one space, a colon, then another space. What I'd like to do it
separate the category from the subcategory by using a formula that can
extract the text either before or after the space-colon-space bit.
Having looked at some of Excel's text functions I can't see an obvious
way to do this, any ideas?
