here's two ideas
1) use data / text to columns
2) use a formula such as =LEFT(A1,3) or =RIGHT(A1,4)

if you'ld like more assistance please post back with additional details and
type out two or three examples of your data.

Cheers

Peo "Mahatma" Sjoblom

Master of civil disobedience.

(He dislikes it at least as much as you.)

But perpetuating the "crime" is not a solution, especially when he
doesn't point out to the OP the error of his ways!
