Copy a column in worksheet with a character change
HI
Is there a way to copy the contents of one column to another, but change say the fifth character of each cell to a different character? For instance, I have a value of MLPM1 in a column (in each cell) with repetitive data and want to copy that column but change the 5th character to "2" so that it reads MLPM2-(data). Can anybody help? Thanks in advance! Scott |

With your data in A1:A1000, in say B1
=LEFT(A1,4)&"2"&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-5) and copy down. Just change what's between the " " for what you want. -- Regards Ken.......................
