Default Postcodes

Hi,

I need a formula that will extract the part of a post code I want. I would
like to extract the first letter or letters from a postcode to use in a
VLOOKUP. My problem is that there can be one letter or two letters at the
start of the postcode.
So if the postcode is B1 1AZ the formula result would be B and if the
formula is BA1 1AZ the result would be BA.

Thanks
