Hi gary, Mr. Rasoul has a tricky question....watch out for the advice if
there is a word "function" in the beginning or mid of the text in any
colum----result may be devastating for him? maybe u can suggest some basic
formula.

good point
- use a helper column
=trimleft(A1,right(A1,len(A1)-8))

Slight correction, Gary:

=trim(left(A1,right(A1,len(A1)-8)))

Hope this helps.

I'm not convinced that it does help, Pete, or Gary.

In your formula
right(A1,len(A1)-8))
will remove the first 8 letters from the text string, and give you the
remaining right-hand end of the string.

You are then using that string as the second argument for the left function,
which not surprisingly returns a #value error.

Perhaps you intended to suggest
=TRIM(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-8))

Yes, you're right David -I just spotted trimleft in Gary's posting and
thought that isn't a function!

If you only want to remove "function" from the end of a cell...

Try this:

With
A1: (any value or blank)
B1: =TRIM(IF(COUNTIF(A1,"*function"),LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-8),A1))

Example:
Using A1: This function is my function
The formula returns: This function is my

Does that help?
