Default What formula do I use to copy only text on left side of a comma?

hi
from what you describe, i would suggest text to columns
2003 menubardatatext to columndelimited, commafinish
2007 data tabtool grouptext to columnsdelimited, commafinish

make a back up prior to runing the text to column wizard.
