If the "This includes" part is always within brackets:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1, MID(A1,FIND("(",A1),LEN(A1)-FIND("(",A1)+1),"") and copy down. "Jamie Furlong" wrote: Problem: Loads of descriptions came in trimmed at 64 chars. At the end of most items, there is the line "This includes free delivery". But most times, it's been chopped. So it might be This includes free delivery This includes fre Thi etc. So I don't know the left or right chars to trim to neaten this up. So I thought wildcard or regex find and replace would do, but it doesn't seem to want to work like that with me! I've tried searching for phrases like "partial find and replace" on this forum, but to no avail. I've got 4500 lines to do, so I'd rather not do it by hand! Thanks. |
