Help with find in Excel ...
Looking for a way to make the cells in column B based on the contents
of cells in colum A (text string) show as below please? Column A Column B 1 1 1.1 1 1.1.1 1 1.1.1.1 1 10 10 10.1 10 10.1.1 10 10.1.1.1 10 100 100 100.1 100 100.1.1 100 100.1.1.1 100 I'd like to have a formula in each cell in column B that will return the text string up to the first occurence of the decimal point in column A but if a decimal point is not found then return the value in column A anyway. Hope that makes sense!?!? Many thanks. Ian Edmont. |

Ian,
Try: Place in B1 (or first row with data - change "A1" as needed) and copy down as needed =IF(ISERROR(LEFT(A1,FIND(".",A1,1)-1)),A1,LEFT(A1,FIND(".",A1,1)-1)) HTH "Ian Edmont" wrote: Looking for a way to make the cells in column B based on the contents of cells in colum A (text string) show as below please?
