Number of Characters
Hi all
Is there a method to remove excess charachters for a cell. I have a sheet I receive from a work mate and the field length is not set, I want to go through the cells and remove the excess characters. Thanks |

Let's say your data is in column A.
In B1 enter: =LEFT(A1,24) and copy this down the column Column B will contain the data in column A reduced to the first 24 characters -- Gary's Student "Murray" wrote: I actually want to leave 24 and remove the rest "Gary''s Student" wrote: Yes.
