Hi,
I've assumed you mean = 13 but if I'm incorrect in that assumption use the second version. the formula can be dragged =IF(LEN(A1)=13,RIGHT(A1,6),RIGHT(A1,3)) =IF(LEN(A1)=13,RIGHT(A1,6),RIGHT(A1,3)) Mike "Mr. Low" wrote: Dear Sir, I wish to extract the last 6 characters if a cell in column A has 13 characters, otherwise only extract the last 3 characters.
