automatically copy first 12 characters in one field to another?
I am trying to write a formula that will automatically copy just the first 12
characters of a field into another field. I'm trying to isolate some information. |

if a1 contains your text, put this formula in e.g. in b2:
=left(a1,12) Wolf "JFletcher" wrote: I am trying to write a formula that will automatically copy just the first 12 characters of a field into another field. I'm trying to isolate some information. |

You can use the worksheet function:
=Left(A1,12) where A1 is the field you want... You can also build this into code Range("D1")=Left(Range("A1"),12) The code leaves the result without the formula. -- steveB Remove "AYN" from email to respond "JFletcher" wrote in message ...
