In the mini-sheet below, xl2bb mistakenly reports the expressions in C3 & K3 as being the same as the one in G3. I show the correct expressions in C11, C12, & C13.

It isn't a mistake. If you take any of those 3 formulas and copy/paste to the other 2 cells the formulas become exactly what you have in those cells.

Consider this example. Would it really help understanding and/or the look of the forum if XL2BB listed 90 different formulas below the mini sheet instead of just the 3 formulas that are then copied to the other listed cells?

Hmmm... Ok, I see your point. Is there a reason that it picked G3, the one in the middle, as the one to report (cite?), rather than C3, the one on the left?

Not that I am aware of. I don't see it as an issue since all the formulas are the same (in that they all take the text from character 2 up the the character before the first "[" in the formula of the cell immediately to the left of the formula cell)
