Calculation search for values starting with...

I'm trying to implement an If statement in my calculation. It works fine as below but that limits found field values only to the specific string - "Part A". I need to be able to also catch values that may have text following the string I have specified, i.e. "Part A and something else". Any suggestions appreciated.

If ( tableName::fieldName = "Part A" ; resultOne ; resultTwo )

If I understand correctly, you want the calculation to check if the text in a field starts with a given string. This can be done as follows = 

If ( Left ( tableName::fieldName ;  6 ) = "Part A" ; resultOne ; resultTwo )
