How do I ask Excel to take the....
....last 4 digits from a column of text and copy them into a new column?
I have a report with about 3000 cells in a column. In each cell is an address and the last 4 digits is the post code. I want to run a formula that will automatically take these last four digits and cut or copy them into a adjacent column... Many thanks all, Tim. |

You could use the "RIGHT" function and which will allow use to view the last
4 digits, if you need them as a value, you would have to "cut and paste special-values" to the next column. Hope this helps Sue "tim :/" wrote: ....last 4 digits from a column of text and copy them into a new column? I have a report with about 3000 cells in a column.

If you don't want to use Paste Special, you could include the =VALUE
function within the formula to convert the data to numbers, eg =VALUE(RIGHT(A1,4)) HTH Phil tim :/ wrote: ...last 4 digits from a column of text and copy them into a new column?
