How can I remove a constant from a cell?
Ryan,
Thanks! When I hit formula auditing that is what showed up: constant
variable.
It is kind of "hiding" the 1 for now and letting me input different numbers.
Thanks again!
What is a 'constant variable'?
I think you need to divulge more information or give more details about the
issue.
Just a random thought here, but you may try something like this:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","")
That would get rid or all '-' characters in a cell.
If, for instance, you wanted to find everything to the left of a certain
character (maybe a constant variable), such as the letter 'a', you could try
a function like this:
=LEFT(A1,FIND("a",A1)-1)
Hope that helps you a bit.
Regards,

I have a spreadsheet that has been updated and now sent to me for formatting
and formula auditing but along the way someone entered in a constant variable
that is not needed but is preventing my actual calculations from showing.
Can anyone offer any insight on how I can remove these non needed constants?
