Parsing data
I have a spreadsheet and in column A a series of numbers all the same length
example: 412381 412382 412383 412384 412385 412386 412387 I need to iterate through and insert : between the second and third digit and fourth and fifth. The outcome should resemble the following: 41:23:81 41;23;82 41;23;83 41;23;84 41;23;85 41;23;86 41;23;87 How does one accomplish this? Thanx. |

Parsing data
With data in A1 put this in B1 and copy down:
=LEFT(A1,2) &":" & MID(A1,3,2) & ":" & RIGHT(A1,2) "Jlaz" wrote: I have a spreadsheet and in column A a series of numbers all the same length example: 412381 412382 412383 412384 412385 412386 412387 I need to iterate through and insert : between the second and third digit and fourth and fifth.

If your data is in A1:An, in some column enter the formula: =TEXT(A1,"00\:00\:00") Then copy/drag down to row n. Finally, select the range with the changed values, e.g. B1:Bn Edit/copy Select A1 Paste Special -- Values This will replace the original so be sure you have backed up your data first. --ron |
