Hello guys
I have the same issue.

A2: The price includes VAT
B2: The price

In the next column, I want the following value (the text difference between A and B)
C2: includes VAT

-------------------------------------
Not working solutions:
Text to Columns is not working with words.
=IF(a2=b2,"",a2) returns "The price"

Other solutions?

Hi Alex,

Assuming the 'to be extracted data' is always on the right, give the formula a try:
=TRIM(RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-LEN(B2)))

Best regards,
Trowa
