    Lightbulb the advance of =Left formula

    Dear Mr / GUru,
    i have 1 column, consist of

    m120.123h51
    m12.adhf1
    m1.1231

    always separate by a dot, id like to take out,
    m120
    m12
    m1

    i can manually easily use this formula
    =left(a1,4)
    =left(a2,3)
    =left(a3,2)

    the problem is, there are thousand rows,

    how can i do this automatically.

    Thx

    hi sr_88, try:
    =LEFT(A1,FIND(".",A1)-1)
