Insert spaces in text string in Excel
I have text stings comprised of twenty characters, eg. 89014104201060525494
I want to add four spaces between every fourth character, eg. 8901 4104 2010 6052 5494. How can I format a cell to do this in Excel? |

Insert spaces in text string in Excel
I'm not convinced you can do it by formatting, but you could use a helper
column, along the lines of =LEFT(A1,4)&" "&MID(A1,5,4)&" "&MID(A1,9,4)&" "&MID(A1,13,4)&" "&RIGHT(A1,4) -- David Biddulph "GenaroJP" wrote in message ...
