Thanks very much Gord and Don

I used the column() function to give me letter postions to extract

But now I have a different problem

I need to join a long list of 1 char cells back to one cell –one word in the
one cell

=CONCATENATE(C40,D40,E40,F40,G40,H40,I40,J40,K40, L40,M40,N40,O40,P40,Q40)

This will work but is there any other way of doing this so I don’t have to
list all these and more cells?

Thanks

Michael

This is the sentence of close to 50 chars in A1

=MID($A$1,ROW(),1) entered in B1 and dragged down.

Will return letters and spaces.
