Use Split Function in UDF to pick a word at specific number from a cell separated by special characters

if you cell value is separated by a space or comma etc. and you want to pic 2nd word or 3 rd etc form a cell without applying text to column or find ,etc. Snapshot below


Here is the udf


Function pick_word(x As String, spl As String, positon As Integer)
Dim z
z = split(x, spl)
pick_word = z(positon - 1)
End Function

Type like pick_word(A3," ",2)



a3 - is cell having value

" " - space is used as separator
