I copied some names from translate.google.com. Then I pasted it on excel (each name in a column).

    You need to use commas (,) to separate your variables in the formula, so like this:

    =LEFT(R2,SEARCH(" ",R2,1))
    

    Does that help?

    If not, please also post the contents of cell R2.
