Hi Maggie,

as I still have your email address from before, I've sent you a file with
Gord's UDF already set up in it, so all you need to do is to copy the data
you want to reverse into this file, apply the formula down the adjacent
column, fix the values and then copy back to the original file.

Should be quicker (and more accurate) than manually changing 37,000 entries
!!

Hope this helps.

Pete

Pete,

In cell B1 is 456P and I would like it to result in A1 P654 the
reverse of what is in B1. We have alpha numeric and numeric characters
that
need to be reversed from its original format. We also have 321-21-A in B1
and
need it to come back with A-12-123 in A1. I hope this helps clearing this
up.
Someone mentioned a UDF solution but to be honest I am not sure what that
is
or how to set it up. So hence the question to the notorious PETE!

Hi Maggie,

I don't quite understand this - can you give me a bit more background
detail?

Nice to hear from you again.

(Pete since you were so very wonderful in helping me the last time I
thought
maybe you could rack your brain for me on this one) is there a
different
technique that could be used rather than a
multiplication to get a numberic/alpha numeric out come? Since most of
the
data needing to be converted is both alpha and numeric we are having to
hand
change 37K entries. THank you for your previous help by the
way!!!!!!!!!!!!

bob, that worked on the numeric cells(THANK YOU) but what would I
do if
they
were numeric and alpha numeric in the same cell?

=SUMPRODUCT((MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1) )*(10^(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&*LEN(A1)))-1)))

I have the numbers 123 in A1 and would like to know if there is a
formula
that will reverce the information in A1 and in B1 give a result
of 321.
Thank
you

Hope this helps.
