Replacing last 3 characters and adding them to front
Hi,
I had a question I was wondering if anyone could help me with. I had an excel file with a bunch of numbers... Variable lengths. All the numbers are in a single column. At the end of the numbers are always 3 letters. Is there a way to delete those three letters off each of these numbers and put them at the front of the number instead of at the end? For example... 111222457YAA should be converted to YAA111222457 Thanks for any help!! |

Say your data starts in A1 and goes down. In some empty column, in row 1,
place this formula. Drag that cell down as far as your data goes. Copy all the occupied cells of that new column. Select A1. Do Edit - PasteSpecial - Values - OK. Delete the new column. Done.
