Deleting a consistant portion of all cells in a given column
I need to remove only the first 10 characters of 40 character cells in a
given column. What is the formula to produce this result? All cells are currently 40 characters in length. -- clock |

All cells are currently 40 characters in length. =MID(A2,11,999) I realize you said all of your text is 40 characters in length which means you could have used this instead... =MID(A2,11,30) but if your text ever got longer, the extra characters from character position 41 onward would be truncated away. Using a number larger than you need will protect against your text ever becoming longer. Another possibility, which automatically protects against longer text being introduced later on is this formula... =REPLACE(A4,1,10,"") Rick |
