can i delete the last 3 characters in each cell in a column in
Hi,
I have a column of zip codes. Some zips have just the first five digits, some have the first five plus a hyphen and four more digits. I only want the first five. Now when I used that first formula.... =LEFT(A1,LEN(A1) - 5) ....it worked great for the zips with too many numbers on the end, but it didn't duplicate the ones that only had five, it just left it blank. How do I get it to duplicate the first five AND delete the ones with too many digits, so I'll be able to just delete the old column. Thanks, Kristin |
