Hi!

If the "LL" will always be in uppercase as in your example, you can make the
formula a little shorter:

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"LL",""),RIGHT(A1,2),"00 ")*1

<g"), it makes sense.....
I will take a look at this too - just to learn!

| I am new to setting up Excel to fill out columns for me and need some
help,

| I have a column of data in the format(s)

| ##LL####.

| Can anyone please give me some help on where I start or what I need to do?
