Hi,

I have list of addresses that have address and suburb combined into one cell. The suburbs are all uppercase and I'm trying to find a formula to extract these to another cell.

Examples (located in column B of my spreadsheet)
Cnr Hollywood Drive and Wharf Road LANSVALE
Cnr Hamilton Drive & Tongarra Road ALBION PARK
2A Hillcrest Avenue BARDWELL VALLEY

I can use the following array formula found in another forum to extract suburbs with a single name but can't get the suburbs that consist of two names

=RIGHT(B2,MATCH(" ",MID(B2,LEN(B2)-ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B2))),1),0))

any assistance appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
=RIGHT(B2,MATCH(0,--EXACT(UPPER(MID(B2,LEN(B2)-ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B2))),1)),MID(B2,LEN(B2)-ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B2))),1)),0)-1)
Ctrl+Shift+Enter
