Find/Repalce
I have a file in which cells have text followed by numbers...the ending
numbers are always 4 digits....anytime the number is greater than 2550, I want to replace it with 2550, is there a way to generate a formula or a macro that can do that but not mess with the text before it in the cell? Thanks! |

Find/Repalce
The number will always have a "Z-" before it, so that may be able to be an
indicator...however if it is "X-" OR "Y-" I do not want the number changed.

Find/Repalce
With your data in cell A1; try the below formula
=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("Z-",A1)),A1,LEFT(A1,SEARCH("Z-",A1)+1) & MIN(2550,MID(A1,SEARCH("Z-",A1)+2,5))) (all in one line) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "lightbulb" wrote: The number will always have a "Z-" before it, so that may be able to be an indicator...however if it is "X-" OR "Y-" I do not want the number changed.
