New Column =
IFERROR(
    LEFT(
        [Full Post Code], 
        SEARCH(" ", [Full Post Code], 1, LEN([Full Post Code])) - 1
    ), 
    [Full Post Code]
)

Hi @cyborgandy 

 

Try this code... Otherwise, you will miss some values when there's no space

 

 

New Column = 

IF(CONTAINSSTRING([Full post code]," "),
    LEFT(
        [Full Post Code], 
        SEARCH(" ", [Full Post Code], 1, LEN([Full Post Code])) - 1
),
[Full post code]
)

 

 

Kind regards
