Hi Nicola

If you choose for the formula you can copy it and do a Paste specal to
values
You can delete the A column after that

To my knowledge no. But to help you out with your 10 character thing.
If
your text is in cell A1 enter this in B1:
=Left(A1,10)
now B1 will show 10 characters including spaces, whatever is in cell
A1.

Hi all



I have a problem when recording a macro with excel, the problem is
that
I
am
unable to record relative movement that I do when I selected a cell.
I
explain better: I have a list of names and I have to cut them to
maximum
10
characters, so I copy one (with relative button on) and paste it in
another
place, then I select that cell, edit it and push the right arrow ten
times
starting to the extreme left, than I cancel anything else. Excel do
not
record my movements, but memorize only the result.

Is there a way to make relative, when recording, even my movement
when
editing the text of a cell.



Thank you in advance

Nicola
