    Take apart of the cell based on a special character

    Hello,

    I was hoping to find out how to pull the value left of the right-most "dash ( - )". For example the list has 100-A123-00. I would like it to pull a picture from a specified folder that has 100-A123 in it. The issue I am running into is that the folder with picture will have multiple values to chose from OR the picture is labeled 100-A123-01_A and will not pull any pictures as a result.

    Example

    A1000-01 is what the original value in the spreadsheet is (attached). In the picture folder I have A1000-01, A1000-02 etc. It doesn't matter which one it pulls to me, I just need one of the two but I need it to pull a generalized A1000 and not anything after the "-" because of certain numbers having multiple dashes and or the number conventions not perfectly matching the pictures.

    Example

    600-1234-01 is what the original value in the spreadsheet is. I would like it to grab any picture that has 600-1234 in it. Before it would grab it based on the entire name but alot of the pictures are named 600-1234-01_A or _B etc.

    Any help would be great thanks.
