Be aware tho, that if your original number has a space between it's main
characters and the last two you wish to eliminate, the formula as given will
leave the space still there........this mod will also delete the space......

=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3)

Hi,

Is there a way of automatically reducing the number of digits in a
cell?

I have a spreadsheet containing 16,000 zip/postcodes. I need to remove
the last two digits in each postcode. Is this possible?

Any help that anyone can give would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
George
