How to determine the value of a printable character?
 

that character can be found by
=CODE(MID(A1,6,1)) in your example, where A1 contains "1029 · etc" -
(it's char(183). Then you can use LEFT(A8,FIND(CHAR(183),A8)-1)
if A8 has the text wanted.

Using 2003

Would like to use a mid() to obtain all information in the text string (a
cell) up to the space before the "·" in (1029 · Money Market Acccount)

Therefore, in this case my formula would return "1029"

In another case my text is (1029-25 · Money Market Acccount)

In turn, my desired text would be "1029-25"

What combination of Find() or Mid() or what ever do I use to do the task?

Initially, I must ascertain how to obtain the chr() value of
the "·" character? No?
