Formula

[Shannon]

Hi!

I am trying to reference a cell that contains data such as "ABCD - Text". I
would like to find a formula that would reference the cell but only take the
"ABCD" (the first 4 characters).

Any help would be wonderful!

Thanks!
Shannon

=LEFT(cell reference,4)

Thank you!!! Is there a place with lists of all formulas as I find the help
search useless?

A list of all formulae would be infinitely long.

If you mean a list of functions, does
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/CH062528191033.aspx or

Just remember to add DATEDIF to the list.
