extract " " space from middle of a string
thanks for reply.
I used the command you mentioned (FIND(" ",A1)) but it returns 13. "Roger Govier" wrote in message ... Hi =FIND(" ",A1) returns 4 =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1) returns bob -- Regards Roger Govier "Rasoul Khoshravan" wrote in message ... a1= bob 1001 there is 10 space between bob and 1001.

extract " " space from middle of a string
Hi
I wonder whether you have the non-breaking space CHAR(160) within your string? Try =FIND(CHAR(160),A1) and see what that produces. If it produces a result of 4, then that is where the problem lies. Try =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(160),""))-1) -- Regards Roger Govier "Rasoul Khoshravan" wrote in message ... thanks for reply.

You could download and install Longre's free morefunc.xll add-in from: http://xcell05.free.fr/ and then use the formula: =REGEX.MID(A1,"\w+") to extract the first word =REGEX.MID(A1,"\w+",2) to extract the second It should not matter what kind of spaces are between the two "words". --ron |
