I got text in a1 like "Hydro carbon resin Petrolac 120" and in b1 like
"Petrolac 120". Now I need in c1 as "Hydro carbon resin". A formula needed to
extract the list in a with reference to list in b in c column.
 
Hi,

A few examples would have helped but this works for your single example. The
second formula is dependant on the first so both will need to be entered for
this to work.

Put this in B1

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",99)),198))

and in C1

=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,""))

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