Hi - you are making a common mistake – trying to use the name of a cell in a formula while in VBA. That works in Excel formulas but not in VBA.
Try something like this instead. (I tested this with a simple SUB but it may work better for you as a FUNCTION.)
Or even better, calculate the position of the period first and check that it is not zero to avoid an error with LEFTPlease Login or Register to view this content.

It occurs to me that maybe you were trying to make a formula to put into a cell.
Was that your intention?
My code above does the calculation within the macro itself.

Hello Stu,
Great code ! This works perfectly well in my situation, but what if I want to include all the A column as a range of this code instead of just A1 cell.
