some of my data has - a, - b
i'm using this to pull out the hyphens, but if the statement is false, the
data will not return the original cell if the original cell does not contain
a "-"

=IF(FIND("-",cell),LEFT(cell,FIND("-",cell)-1,cell)

it is, however, pulling the info, minus the ending parts after the "-"
beautifully.
Any ideas?
