Another way...

=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"/","-"},A1))),LEFT(A1,MIN(SEARCH({"/","-"},A1&"/
-"))-1),A1)

Hope this helps!

I have a list of account numbers in column A.

JOR123
1234
567US/789US
PB34-7890

I need the text or numbers before the - or the / I am using the find
function to get the poistion along with the right function to pull out the
info. The problem is I dont know how to look for the - or the /. I can only
do one or the other.

Thanks for your help
