Default Delete only the fourth character

It would be temporary - you could then paste the values of the new column
over the old column before deleting it.

You could just use existing excel formulas and then paste special as values?

put this in cell B2, and it takes the fourth character out of A1

=LEFT(A1,3)&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-4)

Hi,

I would like to have a macro that would delete only the fourth character
into the selected cells

Thanks
