How do I delete only part of the data in a row of cells?
My column B contains a series of numbers with a space then a part#. All I
want to keep in this row is the part#, I need to get rid of the numbers before it. Help? Here is an example: Cell B46 contains "205 234457-B22", cell B47 contains "206 332558-B21", etc...I need to figure out how to delete 205, 206, etc from these cells as there are thousands of them and I don't want to do |

You can use a helper column to get the numbers you want, and then copy and
paste (paste special) that column (values only) over the original column. The formula you could use: =RIGHT(B47,LEN(B47)-FIND(" ",B47)) However, in your examples, there are two spaces. Not just one. If this will always be the case, then: =RIGHT(B47,LEN(B47)-FIND(" ",B47)-1) HTH, Paul "chelldog" wrote in message ... My column B contains a series of numbers with a space then a part#.
