Hello,
This is my issue I have this value you in a column "Exception Hardware Refresh,US STATUS: Missing,US STATUS: Backup" and what i need to bring back and show for that value is the words after US STATUS:. Which in the case would be Missing,Backup. Any help on how to extract those words from that value would be appreciated Thanks.

PATINDEX and CHARINDEX will help, along with SUBSTRING.

Something like this:

REPLACE(STUFF(yourCol,1,CHARINDEX('US STATUS:',yourCol)-1,''),'US STATUS:','')

[code]
DECLARE @strCol varchar(8000)
SET @strCol = 'Exception Hardware Refresh,US STATUS: Missing,US STATUS: Backup'
SELECT SUBSTRING(@strCol,CHARINDEX('US STATUS:',@strCol)+11,7)
[/code]
