I only Want the Data from certain parts of the col. to be returned

[P Johnson]

I know this is a basic function, but I can't remember how to do it.

Col A Col B
Job: 08-098 started 1/2008

In col A I only want the 08-098 to be listed from Col B.

try this
=MID(E1,FIND(":",E1)+1,FIND(" ",E1,FIND(" ",E1)+1)-FIND(":",E1))
