Excel | Read up to one character

Welcome to Olbricht IT, your expert for everything to do with Excel and Microsoft 365! Today we’re delving into the world of Excel functions and showing you how you can easily and efficiently read text up to a certain character.

Why is it important to read out texts in Excel? In our daily work with Excel, we often face the challenge of structuring and analyzing data. A common task is to separate texts using specific characters. This can be useful for a variety of applications, from data cleansing to reporting.

How does it work? With a combination of the Excel functions “LINKS” and “FIND” you can easily master this task. For example, the formula =LINKS(A1; FINDEN(" "; A1) - 1) allows you to read the text in cell A1 up to the first space. This technique can be customized to accommodate different characters and scenarios.

Anwendungsbeispiel

=LINKS(A1;FINDEN(" ";A1)-1)
