As I re-read my first post, I don't think i was clear.

I have a column of cells. In that column, there is a manf. name and manf.
part number separated by a hyphen. I would like to split them out using text
to columns. Unfortunately, the manf. number could also have a hyphen. My
thought was to replace the hyphen that divides the two with another character
I know is not in the manf part number.

Does that help?

Hi,
you don't need to replace the Hyphen to use text to columns just go to text
to columns,delimited, others

but if you want to replace it do

CTRL H
find what Hyphen, replace with

if this helps please click yes, thanks

All:

I have searched the posts and on Google but I can't find the answer.

I have a cell:

Kemet - ECJ-1238FG47KGCH1

I want to replace only the first hyphen in the cell with a | so I can use
Text to Columns.

Is there a better way?

Thanks much.
