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

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
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.
