replace numbers with X
I'm relatively new to Excel I'm wondering if there is a formula i can use
that replaces the last four numbers in a sequence with "X" no matter the length of the sequence eg: 149876 14xxxx 1234789 123xxxx This is not like the social security number where the amount of numbers is fixed they are varying lengths. Thank you |
