The below works 100% of the time. =IF(ISNUMBER(A1),CONCATENATE(LEFT(FIXED(A1,0,TRUE) ,3),IF(LEN(FIXED(A1,0,TRUE))-3=10,"E","E0"),LEN(FIXED(A1,0,TRUE))-3),A1) Ok, we can do the macro ok. Thanks again for all your valued help!!!!! "Plukey2" wrote: We transfer data from a database to Excel for multiple reasons. The ID to our records are 6 characters such as "123A12" "456B12". When we have an ID such as "419E07" Excel automatically changes that to 4.19E+09. A group of us has tried EVERYTHING we know to stop this from happening. When we open Excel, we DO NOT want Excel to convert. Any ideas? |
