Default left trim

Worked great thanks. How do I run it for a group of cells. I have a column
that contains several thousand cells that I need to do this for.

Hello, I need a query that will left trim everything after the first comma in
a string.

Example

1 Airport Boulevard, Gentry, AR 72734

I need just the street address to remain.

Also some of the cells in the column are blank, some cells have only the
city and state. Also need to know hoe the run it and from where. Thanks
