With your text in cell A1; try the below formula in B1
=TRIM(LEFT(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1& "0123456789"))-1)) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "nc" wrote: a & a 24/03/09 a & a 24-26/09/09 a & a 3/06/09 a & a I have a column of the above similar text.

What about if I wanted to add character such as / i.e show text before / How would that change your formula?
