![]() *=SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(TRIM(LEFT(A2,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3, 4,5,6,7,8,9,"("},A2&"0123456789("))-1))),"'","") The above function which Stephanie provided me with a few days ago, strips all the junk in the following name for example. Attila's Peintre (8-7) becomes Attilas Peintre However, the actual name below when copied/pasted special from a web page Attila´s Peintre*(8-7) becomes:- Attila´s Peintre (Part stripped). As you will observe, the apostrophe remains, because there is a difference in the apostrophe for that particular font. Is there a way that I can modify the above function to include '´' rather than '''? I'm sure it would be a matter of a simple copy/pasting the modified apostrophe within the function above. It looks like I would have to modify the end of the function, but I'm not sure how as I cannot ascertain whether they are quotation marks or apostrophes? There are 4 'marks' on one side of the comma and 5 on the other. TIA |
