I have a spreasheet that has account numbers in this format:
10000003-001-001-06-04. The last pair of numbers are the year in 2 digit format. After I convert the text string to columns using Date Text to Columns Delimited or Fixed Width, I want to format the resulting 2 digit years to 4 digit. Using the above account number as an example, the function result would be: 10000003 001 001 06 04 and I want it to format as: 10000003 001 001 2006 2004. Now the tricky part. Some of the years in the account numbers of 20th century, so the function out put would be: 10000114 001 001 96 91 which I want to format as: 10000114 001 001 1996 1991 Or an account out of: 182 10034877 182 002 01 99 which I want to format as: 182 10034877 182 002 2001 1999 I can set the format manually using custom, but that would require my sorting the spreadsheet multiple times. Not my idea of a fund day when there are 41,000+ records to format. Suggestions, besides FIA? -- I know enuff to be dangerous. |
