entering a number of more than 1 digit
I would like to enter a number with 9 digits in a format like this - (123-45-6789) and have each digit be placed in an individual cell. A1=1 B1=2 C1=3, etc. Is there a way to do this? -- lsu-i-like ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lsu-i-like's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=14317 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=379487 |

Assuming your entry is in Cell X1, this are your formulas: A1: =left(X1,1) B1: =mid(X1,2,1) C1: =mid(X1,3,1) D1: =mid(X1,5,1) E1: =mid(X1,6,1) F1: =mid(X1,8,1) G1: =mid(X1,9,1) H1: =mid(X1,10,1) I1: =right(X1,1) Hope this is what you are looking for.

I';m sure there are several approaches. Here's mine: Enter data in A2 123-45-6789 Enter position number for each number in B1:J1 {1,2,3,5,6,8,9,10,11} B2=MID($A2,B$1,1) copied across row 2 -- MrShorty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrShorty's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=22181 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=379487 |
i want to enter the number in the first cell of output, so using your terminology, x1=a1. this creates a circular reference using left so that wont work. i might have to use your way. in any case, your reply is a big help. any additional help is appreciated. -- lsu-i-like ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lsu-i-like's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=14317 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=379487 |

NOTE that I never meant *-X1 to be equal to A1-*. These are two independent and different cells. In my example, X1 is where you have your "xxx-xx-xxxx" entered and the individual single numbers will appear in Cell A1 up to Cell I1. -- BenjieLop ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BenjieLop's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=11019 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=379487 |
