Remove comma from extracted text

CLBai

Hi, I am using this formula to extract the last name from a name but it includes the comma.

=LEFT(Name@row, FIND(",", Name@row))

How do I remove the comma? I tried =LEFT(Name@row, FIND(",", Name@row), - ",") but that didn't work.

Thanks,

C'loni

Hi @CLBai

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IFERROR(LEFT(Name@row, FIND(",", Name@row) - 1), "")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
