Dear Steve, Assuming every time the code will start with 1 and this may appear anywhere in the text, you can use below formulae in next two columns after your data, respectively.
=MID(A2,SEARCH(1,A2),2) =IF(C2="1a","Tampa, Fla.",IF(C2="1b","St.
Petersburg, Fla.","Dunedin, Fla."))
Solved workbook is also attached with this email.
Best Regards,
