ADDING DASHES WITHIN NUMBERS IN A COLUMN
You could use another column with formulas like:
=left(a1,9)&"-"&right(a1,2) if all the cells contain 11 character numbers. paulp wrote: i have a column of part numbers (1391 lines) and i need to insert a dash/hyphen into each number at a specific place. for example, one original number is HQ505279513 and i need it to be HQ5052795-13 this then has to be repeated for all the other numbers in that column. am i able to perform this in excel 2003? thanks, paul -- Dave Peterson |
