String formula conversion
 
I have a list of streets extracted from a merged list whose formula is this:
=REPLACE(B15,1,FIND(" ",B15,1)-1,""). In the cell is the street name but when
you click on it, the formula shows up in the top line to the right of f of x.
I wish to do an advanced Sort & Filter against a list of names not generated
by a formula. How do I convert the formula cells to the alpha representation?
