    @Paul Newcome
    I was looking for a way to extract first name from a column that contains;
    - John Smith
    - Fred Long Jr.
    - Tony Jeremiah Jones
    - etc.

    =LEFT([Legal Name]@row, FIND(" ", [Legal Name]@row) - 1)


    You already have a formula out there that does this perfectly.
    FORMULA GENIUS!!! THANKS!!!
