What function or combination of functions would I use to get rid of all
text after a space in a row?
I have rows in which I want to pull only the beginning text then get rid of
everything after the space that follows this text.
I know I can get the information with the SGET function but since the text
at the beginning of each row is various lengths, I will end up with information
I do not need.
There will always be a space following the beginning text.
