Default remove "+" from =+ABCD.

Hi, I have got data in a spreadsheet and the string values came as "=
+ABCDE".

I want to exctract ABCDE from this string.. any suggestions?

I tried RIGHT funcation =RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-1) but it is not working.

Thank you,
hj

Default remove "+" from =+ABCD.

If possible, select the column that has that, CTL-H type =+ in the to box,
leave the bottom blank and replace all.

Default remove "+" from =+ABCD.

With ActiveCell
.Value = "=" & Right(.Formula, Len(.Formula) - 2)
End With

What does "not working" mean? Wrong result? What? Error?

Shouldn't it be

=RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-2)
?


Maybe there are leading spaces in the cell?

1) is the = sign displayed all the time, or only when you select the cell
2) what do you mean the RIGHT() function 'is not working'
3) have you tried search and replace - searching for either "=+" or for "+"
and replacing with nothing?
