    After extracting first word from column, how do you delete what you've extracted for

    After extracting first word in string from column A, using:

    In B1 use:
    =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)

    how do you delete what you've just extracted for C1, leaving everything else in string?

    Thanks

    This should work for you; it uses the MID function and the FIND function and the LEN function:

    =MID(A1,(FIND(" ",A1,1)+1),LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1,1))
