Create additional Line item to find delimiters

Find LI = FIND(",",Old Value,1)

New Value = IF FIND LI = 0 THEN Old Value ELSE Left(Old Value,Find LI -1)

This should give you the results

Hi @Sravan_Kumar -

Create a new Line item(number format) and write a formula FIND(",", old)

Write the formula for new value = IF New Line item = 0 THEN old value ELSE LEFT(old value, New Line item - 1)

Hope it helps,

SUBSTITUTE() is also an option and that will allow for replacing multiple instances of the same character without something super complex.

Wow! Amazing @johndorma.

But this doesn't work if something is present after comma.

Say,

5.0 ----> 50

but using the formuls,

5.0 -----> 6
