WOW! Thank you for your quick response to my question. It works like a champ.
Can you give me a break-down of the formula you gave?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi,

Try this for a string in a1 and drag down

=MID(A1,FIND("^^",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","^^",LEN(""&A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",""))))+1,1024)

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Hello,

I have part #'s that end in 3 or 4 characters, some with a space. I would
like to display the last 3 or 4 characters in another column. I tried using
the IF and Right functions and have not solved it. I thank you in advanced
for your help on this formula.

Example:
Part # New Column (Result)
30-179-TC1 TC1
30-181-T C2 T C2
30-185-TC23 TC23
