Formula

C

I have the following situation

Cell A

Abdal-Ghaffar, NadyN14264504Middle Eastern and Islamic StudiesPHD

Cell B

Abdal-Ghaffar, Nady

how do i build a formula on cell Cell C to look up the name on the text
string
 
J

Assuming that string is in A2 and the name is always followed by a
comma, this formula will pull out the name:

=LEFT(A2,FIND(",",A2)-1)
 
C
