Default Address can not be more than 30 characters

I do not understand how to enter your code. Is it a formula?

Okay, so now that I can identify the address with 30 characters, how do I
moved the 31+ characters to a separte column?

It all depends on where you are allowed to strip characters from. If you
just
want the first 30 then insert a column and type =Left(A1,30) copy it down
and
there you go. You can copy and paste special-values over the old and
delete
the column if you need to. This assumes that the address is in A1 btw.

Hello,
I have a report that is opened through excel and it includes an address
column. I am sending this report to a thrid party who can not have the
address field be more than 30 characters. Is there a formula that
would
recognize if the field is more than 30 characters and then move the
extra
characters to the next column? the report includes over 1,000 records
so it
would be nice if I did not have to do any manual work.

Thank you,
