formula needed
Hi;
Can anyone advice me on how to extract the text value only? The formula that I'm using currently works well if the text value appears before the space only: =(LEFT(INDIRECT("Sheet1!A"&ROW()),FIND(" ",INDIRECT("Sheet1!A"&ROW()))-1)) My requirements are to appear all the text value, and skip the numeric and symbol. For example: a) For ABC - 123, it should appears as ABC to me b) For ABC DEF -098, it should appears as ABC DEF to me. Thanks for your help in advance. |

formula needed
Hi ;
Thanks for your prompt response. It's really help after I change the formula to: =(LEFT(INDIRECT("Sheet1!E"&ROW()),FIND("-"&"",INDIRECT("Sheet1!E"&ROW()))-2)) But, for those cell that are empty, it will returns a result of an error of: #VALUE! to me. Is there any way for it to remain empty when the cell that I'm refering to is empty? Please advice. Thanks a lot for your kind assistance.

Hi;
I've changed the formula to the following, but the wording of #VALUE! still appears to me: =IF("Sheet1!E"&ROW()=" ","",(LEFT(INDIRECT("Sheet1!E"&ROW()),FIND("-",INDIRECT("Sheet1!E"&ROW()))-1))) Can you help me on this?

You've forgotten an INDIRECT.
Try =IF(INDIRECT("Sheet1!E"&ROW())="","",(LEFT(INDIREC T("Sheet1!E"&ROW()),FIND("-",INDIRECT("Sheet1!E"&ROW()))-1))) -- David Biddulph "ah" wrote in message ...
