Hi everyone, could anyone explain to me how to do a vlookup, but when returning a value only returning it up until the " " in the name? So if i were looking up a clients primary contact, i would use the client name to find the match, then when returning the name how do i make it only return his first name?
Thanks for your help!
Example
Company | First Name
Client1 | John Doe
I would like to return just John from vlooking up client1
In that case why don't split up the data in 2 columns, then you can use VLookup for that.
Stays the problem if you got 2 name with the same first name:
e.g. John Doe and John Steel
Notice my main language is not English.
I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.
If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.
