Reducing the number of digits in a cell
Hi, Is there a way of automatically reducing the number of digits in a cell? I have a spreadsheet containing 16,000 zip/postcodes. I need to remove the last two digits in each postcode. Is this possible? Any help that anyone can give would be much appreciated.

Reducing the number of digits in a cell
Cheers. Although for some reason it doesn't seem to be working. Can I email you the document so you can take a look and see why that may be? -- Borge14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Borge14's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37324 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=570270 |

Reducing the number of digits in a cell
use comma instead of semi colon, formula should be like this =LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-2) Borge14 Wrote: Cheers. Although for some reason it doesn't seem to be working.

Reducing the number of digits in a cell
Be aware tho, that if your original number has a space between it's main
characters and the last two you wish to eliminate, the formula as given will leave the space still there........this mod will also delete the space...... =LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3) Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Borge14" wrote: Hi, Is there a way of automatically reducing the number of digits in a cell?
