Could someone please help?

I was trying to download some form from the ozeform horse search database and have encountered a few problems that go beyond my excel abilities. The major problem is the finishing position and field numbers. For example 1/12
will come out as 1 December. I know that the columns need to be formatted but I cant seem to do it correctly. I would also like to split the two figures into seperate cells. Also with the beaten margin figure, if the horse has won the margin to the second horse comes up and as I am experimenting with the beaten margins I would like excel to turn the margin to zero if the horse has finished first. Thanking you in advance.

Thanks chrome....i am new at excel and wanted see if what i was doing to extract information was correct....and it was according to your file....i also use this formula to extract information from cyber horse form

=TRIM(MID(A$2,FIND("&",SUBSTITUTE(A$2,",","&",B2))+1,FIND(",",REPLACE(A$2,1,FIND("&",SUBSTITUTE(A$2,",","&",B2)),""))-1))


where B2 has the amount of commas that you want to skip to and A2 contains the form line

Wow Shaun, you're obviously far more advanced than me at this.

My codes are very basic and you have got a much better grasp at getting the info "parsed".

Well done and thanks for the code.

I'll email you a workaround for Cyberhorse as well that may not require code.
