search & replace
 

I want to search a column for specific text (ie long account name 12-30
characters) and update a column with the account code (2 characters)

How do i search and replace in the column with a "begins with" command?

LEFT(A1,n)=X

where n is the length of X, the value with which you want to compare
the value in A1.
