Hello World - looking for help on the following excel formula. I would like to search for two (2) text strings, "RT" and "ST" in the FIND area.

This formula is what I'm currently using and for every "ST" I receive an error "#VALUE!"

Excel Formula:
=IF(RIGHT([@[ST_Supplier Part Number]],1)="N",
LEFT([@[ST_Supplier Part Number]],FIND("RT",[@[ST_Supplier Part Number]])-1)&"N",
LEFT([@[ST_Supplier Part Number]],FIND("RT",[@[ST_Supplier Part Number]])-1))

here's a pic of what I get in return in [column1]

Thank you for your help in advance.

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.

Excel Formula:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE([@[ST_Supplier Part Number]],"RT",""),"ST","")
