Hello,

Beginning with row4 in ColumnE my data has CO125. I want to cut the CO
and paste it in ColumnF.

This is the macro I've got so far:

Sub DeleteCharacters()
'
Dim strS, strC
Set Rng = Range("B7:D65000")
For Each cell In Rng
strS = "CO"
strC = Left(cell, 2)
If strC = strS Then
strC.Select
Selection.Cut
ElseIf cell.Value = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
Next
End Sub

Thank you for your help,

Hello Bob,

When I tried your code it give me this error message:

Compile error: syntax error

Then it highlights this line of code:
strC.Cut.cell.Offset(0, 1)

I changed it to this and it gave me the same error:
Left(cell, 2).Cut.cell.Offset(0, 1)

Thank you for your help,

Hello Bob,

When I ran your code it moves the data from ColumnE ActiveCell to the
right. I need it to move only the CO to the right:

Example:
ColumnE
CO125
CO126
CO127

ColumnE ColumnF
125 CO
126 CO
127 CO

Thank you for your help,
