Hi:

I have a concatenate value in D16.

In K11 formula

=LEFT(D16,FIND("–",D16,FIND("–",D16)+1)-1)

intended to remove all text after the second dash from concatenate value in D16 is returning #VALUE.

Can you help please?
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
I'd guess your FIND is failing. Are you sure the cells contain that kind of dash?

Your suspicion is correct. Formula in K11 had the wrong kind of dash.
Thank you so much.
