Hello:

I have a column that contains an inventory item number followed by a space
and then the word "Average".

How do I take out the space and "Average", so that I can just have the
inventory item number?

There is no set number of characters for the inventory item number.

childofthe1980s,

If your cell has one space in it then you can use some of the string
functions available in Excel.

A1:189604 Average
B1: =LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1)-1)

Best,

childofthe1980s,

Sorry, I made a typo. The formula should be the following:

B1: =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)

Best,

Matt
