Default Separting negative numbers from letters in cells

Hi,

Am Wed, 15 May 2013 21:43:57 +0100 schrieb patatwork:

Okay I had to code data and possible values were as follows:
-2c
-2b
-2a
99
1a
1b
2


your values in column A. Then in B1:
=IF(ISTEXT(A1),--(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)),A1)
and in C1:
=IF(ISTEXT(A1),RIGHT(A1,1),"")
You can copy column B:C and pastespecial paste values and then delete
column A


Regards
