This worked for me

Sub test()

Dim CellText As String

CellText = ActiveCell.Text
ActiveCell.Value = Right(CellText, Len(CellText) - 6)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Left(CellText, 6)

End Sub

There must be something wrong with the CellVal variable. Put this after the
CellVal assignment

MsgBox CellVal

and see if it's what you expect it to be.

Hi Folks

I have the following macro that, for the life of me, I can't seem to
change so that it cuts the last 5 characters of a cell instead of the first
5 characters. Any help much appreicated.

Sub MoveAround()

Dim CellVal As String

CellVal = ActiveCell.Text
Range(ActiveCell.Address) = Right(CellVal, Len(CellVal) - 6)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Range(ActiveCell.Address) = Left(CellVal, 6)
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select

End Sub
