Removing characters
Hi to all,
Of the beginning I would like to thank you for the advice about my previous question, it was useful. I have needed advice for a second time or maybe a formula for removing some characters from the cell or columns, For example If I have column with a tel. numbers and I would like to remove first three numbers (characters) if they are ``555`` on the beginning of the field. Example: Tel. number 5553265598 555984236 5478896 45623178956 78246645 555123556 The results that I would like to have a Tel. number 3265598 984236 5478896 45623178956 78246645 123556 The same column, but only without €ś555€ť I hope that you are going to help me, giving me advice how can I do this or maybe the problem can be solved by formula. Thank you. |

If your tel. numbers are in column A then use a helper column, say B, enter
the formula in B2 and drag it down as needed. In column B you'll have the truncated numbers!

If you want to place the truncated numbers back to column A then select
column B, Copy/PasteSpecial-values to column A. Then you can delete the helper column!

Hi, Stefi
Thank You for the formula, I tried and its working, but now I have a another problem, The formula working only if the number is 555, can You help me and let me know how to set the formula if the numbers are 245, 356, 355, 381, 387, 389 or maybe some others.

You can enhance the OR() function with up to 30 additional conditions as required: OR(LEFT(A2,3)="555",LEFT(A2,3)="245",LEFT(A2,3)="3 56"; ... ) Regards, Stefi €žMaksko€ť ezt Ă*rta: Hi, Stefi Thank You for the formula, I tried and its working, but now I have a another problem, The formula working only if the number is 555, can You help me and let me know how to set the formula if the numbers are 245, 356, 355, 381, 387, 389 or maybe some others.
