Changing data in column for multiple rows
Hello,
I'm pretty new to Excel and database applications in general so forgive me for any wording or vocabulary that I might lack. I have a list of ip addresses, about 200 rows, in one column. The addresses are separated into four octets (xx.xx.xx.xx) and I need to edit the last octet in every row to zero so that it looks like xx.xx.xx.0 What I did was use the text to columns action to isolate the last octet into it's own column so I could zero it out but then of course I couldn't figure out how to merge everything back together again. (I figured out how to merge on the cell level with multiple columns but I couldn't figure out how to get the formula to work all the way down the list) So, what I think would be simpler is to just learn how to edit the ip address in the original column without using text to columns. So for example: Befo After: A A 129.16.12.200 129.16.12.0 And so on all the way down the column. Note, the ip addresses are all different. Thanks, BK -- Boss: "Do you know Excel?"

Changing data in column for multiple rows
hi
A simple formula would work. Assuming the data start at A1, in B1, put this formula.... =LEFT(A1,10)&0 then copy the formula and copy down B column to the end of the list. after you can copy the B column and paste special - values to turn the formula into hard data. Post back if you have problems. Regards FSt1 "Big Krackers" wrote: Hello, I'm pretty new to Excel and database applications in general so forgive me for any wording or vocabulary that I might lack.
