Paste found value alongside text – Excel formula

=IFERROR(LEFT(B9,FIND(" ",B6)),B6)

So currently this returns the first word found in a cells string.

It works as intended on that part but for example if it returned Apple in the cell I wish to paste it in.

How would I add my text alongside it?

For example, I want it to paste My Apple and not just the value found which would just be Apple.

>Solution :

If you want add extra word then just concatenate it either by CONCATENATE() formula or concatenate operator &. Try-

="My " & IFERROR(LEFT(B9,FIND(" ",B6)),B6)
