Try this:
=Left(A1,5) And copy down as needed. OR =--Left(A1,5) To make the values true numbers. OR Select the column of numbers, then, from the Menu Bar, <Data <Text To Columns Click on "Fixed Width", then <Next Move the "Break Lines" to where you need them, Then <Finish. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "ManhattanRebel" wrote in message ...
