formula to truncate text characters
Put this in a helper column:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-4)
then copy down as far as required.
Hope this helps.

Greetings all,
This should be easy, but for the life of me I can't come up with the formula
solution myself. *I would like to truncate some text characters of a model
number which is currently made up of the manufactuer and model number. *The
manufactuer code is three digits, then followed by a "-", then comes the
model number. *I want to remove the first four text characters, the
manufactuer code and the "-". *Here is an example:
CLI-67700002
CLI-67818003
CLI-67846003
OSP-13-37N20D
OSP-13-37N30D
OSP-13-37N9WA
OSP-13-77N30D
I would like to have the above replace with:
67700002
67818003
67846003
13-37N20D
13-37N30D
13-37N9WA
13-77N30D
I am using 2007 w/ XP Pro. *As in the past, I thank you for your anticipated
help!
