sorting out data based on 3 alpha characters followed by a comma
The report I download has a column heading "Name" and is in column D. The
name is last name then a comma then a space then the first name, for example SMITH, FRED. I would like to write a macro that would generate a report to pull only the last names with 3 characters or less. That new report would be on a sheet titled, "Short Names". Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks |

What I want to accomplish is having a sheet that lists all the 3 character
last names or less from the main report called "All Records". Names like "Ray", "Fox", "Lee" or " Hu". I hope that helps.
