Excel formulas on triming a cell value -


i want trim row in excel contains following values:

row                row b texas/dallas         5 texas/austin         10  california/sf        5 california/la        20

to 

row                  row b texas                  5 texas                  10 california             5 california             20

it sounds want value of left of / symbol in particular field. that, can use following formula:

=left(a1,find("/",a1)-1)

where a1 cell want change.

here's how works:

find("/", a1) finds first instance of "/" in text in a1 , returns it's position.

then left(a1, <#>) takes characters left of position calculated previous expression.
