Standard Edit to Multiple Cells
I am looking to use Excel in track printing in our office. I am able to get
all the info needed exported into a spreadsheet, but I have one remaining glitch when I need to sort the information. The project number column includes the full path to the project folder on our server so there is no way to sort by project. But, there is the same number of characters before the project number for every entry. Is there a way to create a macro or a function that our billing person can easily apply to the cells in the column that says " delete the first 14 characters in this cell" or "ignore the first 14 characters when reading this cell"? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you and Happy New Year. |

With data starting in A1, try this in B1:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-14) And copy down as needed. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "jwksu" wrote in message ...

=MID(A1,15,255) -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "RagDyeR" wrote in message ...
