| Hi,I have the following field from a data source which is abit annoying I would like to strip it out.Field1 = 'sname / fname title'LEFT(Field1, ISNULL(NULLIF (CHARINDEX('/', Field1) - 1, - 1), LEN(Field1))) This returns the 'sname' for me, how would i strip out the 'fname' only and ignore the 'title'?Thanks |
