Remove first few digits from all cells in the column
I believe this has something to do with function LEFT or RIGHT in Excel.
Specifically, I want to take out the first two digits and a space (the numbers) in all cells of the column, making it names only. So, "1. Vince Higgs" would become "Vince Higgs" and "2. Joe Blow" would become "Joe Blow" I have no experience with macros and little with functions, but have been experiementing with simple functions like TODAY. Thank you. |

You could use Text to columns, with ". " (that's dot space)as a
delimiter, and not select the left side to convert. Beege Magwine wrote: I believe this has something to do with function LEFT or RIGHT in Excel.

Sorry, only one delimiter per customer.... and if you use dot, it leaves
a space in front of the name. My bad. Beege Beege wrote: You could use Text to columns, with ". " (that's dot space)as a delimiter, and not select the left side to convert.
