Insert column to right of the column containing your data
Data==Text-to-Columns=Delimited=Other ..enter "-" (no quotes) then Finish. Delete redundant data i.e one containing the 4 digits. HTH "RISXRAY" wrote: Example... 1234-56789 becomes 56789 |

I formated the "-" in the cell by using custom formating (0000-00000), so
when I do the delimiting, it doesn't show the "-". My orginal number is whole 123456789.

Aha.... I removed the formating and did the conversion by a "fixed width".
Works great. Thank you for the lead... "Toppers" wrote: Insert column to right of the column containing your data Data==Text-to-Columns=Delimited=Other ..enter "-" (no quotes) then Finish.

If your number is in A2, try this in a blank column:
=LEFT(A2,5) which will return the values as text - if you want them as numbers, try this: =VALUE(LEFT(A2,5)) Copy the formula down for as many rows as you have data in column A. Hope this helps.

Sorry, you would need to use RIGHT rather than LEFT, but as you have
found another way to do it, it's irrelevant.
