Deleting some content of a cell
Paola
a different approach ...
assuming the data starts in cell A1, put this formula in a cell on Row 1,
for example, into cell B1
=IF(ISERROR(FIND("/",A1)),A1,RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("/",A1)-1))
Copy it down. Now copy all the data in the new column and Paste Special |
Values over the original data. You can then delete the new column

I have a problem, the column is not consistant and some of the cells are
missing the first part. For Example:
Carlos / Villa
Erica / Puerta
Gallo
Jorge / Sanin
I want Gallo to go to cell B but it stays in cell A because is missing the
/. Is there a way to tell excel to move the content to B is / is missin?
Please advise?
Thank you.

Hi!
Select the range of cells in question
Goto DataText to Columns
Select Delimited
Click Next
For delimiters, select: space and other
In the little box beside "other" enter a backslash /
Make sure "Treat consecutive delimiters as one" is checked
Click Next
Select: "Do not import column (skip)"
Click Finish

I have a column that has two words that are divided by the / sign.
I want to delete the first part; for example:
A1 reads: Excel / Access
I want to write a formula that will take the Excel /
And then A1 will equal to Access only.
Please help.
Thanks
Paola
