Changing Contents of a cell.
Ok, So i have a few columns of data with about 1600 rows or so per column
The data in the rows looks like what is shown below. The numbers in the rows are stored as text. Here is what i need to do, I need the first number ONLY, and not the percentage. So basically i need to turn every cell into the number that appears first in every cell, and then delete the parentheses and percentages. Anyone have any easy way to do this? 3 (8%) 4 (12%) 0 (0%) 8 (15%) 0 (0%) 0 (0%) 0 (0%) 0 (0%) 0 (0%) 7 (5%) 6 (3%) 10 (4%) |

Without VBA, use Text to Columns with the space as a separator.
With VBA, select the cells and run: Sub numberr() For Each r In Selection r.Value = Split(r.Value, " ")(0) Next End Sub -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200770 "Adam" wrote: Ok, So i have a few columns of data with about 1600 rows or so per column The data in the rows looks like what is shown below.
