Doing a replace with a wildcard charcter
I have a set of data in the form
(9) (12) (8) (34) (45) I would like to search and append a '0' to single characters between brackets. Searching on (?) finds the correct items but (0?) does not turn (9) into (09). Can any one help? |

Doing a replace with a wildcard charcter
One idea using a formula
Source data as posted is presumed TEXT running in A1 down In B1: =IF(A1="","",IF(LEN(A1)=3,SUBSTITUTE(A1,"(","(0"), A1)) Copy down -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:27,000 Files:200 Subscribers:70 xdemechanik --- "John" wrote: I have a set of data in the form (9) (12) (8) (34) (45) I would like to search and append a '0' to single characters between brackets.

Another way
="(" & TEXT(MID(A1,2,LEN(A1)-2),"00") & ")" If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "John" wrote: I have a set of data in the form (9) (12) (8) (34) (45) I would like to search and append a '0' to single characters between brackets.
