I have a column of product descriptions with html tags embedded. I want to extract the beginning of each row up to the first html tag which is always .
I tried running text to columns to split on '<' but because there are several html tags in each row, the rest of the text is not left in tact.
How can I split the data on the first occurrence only?
I have ASAP Utilities but I couldn't figure a solution using those tools either.
3 rows of example data:
<colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>
