I copied some names from translate.google.com. Then I pasted it on excel (each name in a column).
Now when I want to split it to keep the first name only, it does not work. It seems like excel can’t see the space anymore.
I used this code:
=LEFT(R2;SEARCH(" ";R2;1))
You need to use commas (,) to separate your variables in the formula, so like this:
Does that help?
If not, please also post the contents of cell R2.
