Hello Simha/NRao,
All but the first and last words: =MID(TRIM($A2),FIND(" ",TRIM($A2))+1,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(TRIM($A2)," ",CHAR(1),LEN(TRIM($A2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE($A2," ",""))))-FIND(" ",TRIM($A2))-1) The formula ignores leading and trailing spaces, and also won't return leading and trailing spaces if there were extra spaces after the first or before the last word.
