Formulas
Hi again!
I was wondering how I could take the text "ABCD -Text" (in one cell) and create a formula in another cell so that only "Text" would show up and not the "ABCD -". The problem so far is that the "Text" is not always the same # of characters so the RIGHT function will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Shannon |
