return 1st word in string
Assuming first word is followed by an space in all cells
then you can enter the following in B1 and copy down; =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)) "EngelseBoer" wrote: is it possible to search a column (A) and copy the 1st word of each cell to (B) A B Dopper Zulu = Dopper Korma Xhosa = Korma |
