Default Extracting text before ~ sign

Thanks Mike for the reply. I've tried your formula and I am getting
the account name's from my data, is there a way to change this formula
so I can get the code only from my file? Many thanks in advance!!

Maybe

=MID(A1,FIND("~",A1)+1,LEN(A1))

Hi Everyone,


Please help me with your expertise. I have this type of data
(12345~Sample), that series is a code followed by the code name. Now I
want to get only the code after the ~ sign, my problem is the code is
not fix, some codes consist of 3 characters only so I cannot just use
the simple left(A1,#) formula.


Thanks in advance!
