Return a Variable value length
How would I return in say A2 the value that is in A1, but not all of
this value in A1, just the characters that are to the left of a decimal point? A1 = an email address and the value I want returned is the first name on this address. The format of values in A1 is Obviously the length of the firstname can vary. To format it nicely I'd like to capitalise the first letter of the value returned in A2 Thanks |

Here's one possibility:
=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1))&MID(A1,2,FIND(".",A1)-2) Scott Sean wrote: How would I return in say A2 the value that is in A1, but not all of this value in A1, just the characters that are to the left of a decimal point?
