I have a column of sedols (sedols are security identifies) that is about 8000
rows long and will be refreshed with new data every day. Sedols need to be 8 characters long. The problem is, when I drop a sedol into excel that starts with one or more zeros, excel truncates the zeros which then leaves me with an invalid sedol. At that point I need to go in and change for example 3128 to 0003128. Generally, there about 200 or so of these out of 8000. Was wondering if there was a way to create a macro that would look at all sedols in the range, check if they are 8 characters, and, if not, add enough zeros as prefix to get to 8 characters thanks! |
