Truncating Existing Entries
i want to truncate anything past the 7th character. is there a way to do this? The data is pretty uniform, usually has about 12-15 characters, if that helps. -- lrod1843 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lrod1843's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24346 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=387172 |

Use a helper column of cells with a formula like:
=left(a1,7) drag down. convert to values and delete the original column if you want. lrod1843 wrote: i want to truncate anything past the 7th character. is there a way to do this?
