after 2nd white space >>> output shld be >>> SQY778 17JULY17 00J1


after 3rd white space >>> output shld be >>> 17JULY17 00J1

Look at the syntax for Instr function:
instr(string to search, string to search for, start position, occurrence)

Why don't feedback and follow your previous topic before starting a new one?

And what is your problem with this question? Did you read the documentation about INSTR?
