Hi,
LEFT returns text, so instead you can write either =--RIGHT(A1,2) or =--SUBSTITUTE(A1,"*","") You start both of these with 2 minus signs. By the way the RIGHT function is set to work only for 3 digit entries, you could generalize if =--RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1) If these help, please click the Yes button.
