Roger Govier wrote...
Try =MID(A2,FIND(" ",A2)+1,FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A2, " ","#",2))-FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","#",1))-1) .... Satisfies the OP's specs, but how would it handle George Herbert Walker Bush? Or Malcolm X? For names like those, =MID(A2,FIND(" ",A2)+1,FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A2, " ","#",LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",""))))-FIND(" ",A2))
