    Remove text after an '&' symbol in a cell

    I would like to be able to remove a string of text in a cell that appears after an '&' symbol in a cell.

    I cant use the LEFT or RIGHt function as the '&' Symbol is a different places in each cell.

    Any ideas on a method?

    Regards BVG

    Try something like:

    =LEFT(A1,SEARCH("&",A1)-1)
