I would insert two new columns--one for the 4's and one for the 3's (actually,
the non-4's):

in D1:
=if(left(c1,1)="3",c1,"")

=E1:
=if(d1="",c1,"")

Select D1:E1 and drag down as far as you need.

Then with D:E selected, copy|Paste special|Values.

Then delete (or hide) the original column.

I need to move all codes that begin with the number 4 over one column in
place.

Column C has multiple codes
I need to seperate the codes that start with the number 4
from the codes that start with the number 3
and past codes starting with number 4, into empty column D in the same
position they were in Column C

Thanks!
