Hi,

I'm quite confused with this. can we get the perticuler number/text from big data using LEFT/RIGHT formula?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the data I have in cell A1 only. I want second Huisnummer (from the bold section) i.e - "62" and Postcode i.e - "4698AA" combined in cell C1 like "4698AA 62"
Again the another problem is sometime Huisnummer comes with 4/5 digits (e.g-9851AB)

I tried to do this but getting first Huisnummer & Postcode.

Please help me to solve this problem. Thank you so Much!

Not with LEFT and RIGHT, but with MID and SUBSTITUTE. Substitute lets us choose which instance of a word we want to replace, which is important for your question. Basically, we'll look for boundary words, replace them with large gaps, and then cut out the section we want. Overall formula:
=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"Plaats",REPT(" ",999),2),"Postcode :",REPT(" ",999),2),999,999))&" "&
TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"Huisnummer :",REPT(" ",999),2),"Postcode :",REPT(" ",999),2),999,999))
