    Code to pull out all the text in a cell before the word 'to'

    Hi all,

    Hoping you can help with some advice.

    I basically have a long list of titles of letters with the sender and receiver. I would like to be able to instantly pull all the names in the list of cells that appear before the letter 'to' so I can then look at the frequency with which these names appear.

    I'm hoping this may be a simple piece of code?

    Thank you very much in advance from a beginner!

    Please post a sheet with some examples to see the formatting ( see yellow banner)
    The string "to" might appear different times in the titles

    One way Slect the column
    Ctrl+H
    Find whet :" to*" ( no double quotes but a space before the " to")
    Replace with: leave blank
    Click Replace All
    Done
