Formula amendment to not remove digits
Look at Data=Text to Columns to separate.
"Sarah (OGI)" wrote: I have a list in Col I that shows data in the the following way: AR All Risks AR AV Agricultural Vehicle AG BD Breakdown Each cell has: an initial code, 5 spaces, the name, then a random number of spaces and finally (in some cases), another code which may or may not match the first code. I need to break down the information from col I into 2 sections. In col J I would like to show the first code (the 2 digit code) and in col K, I'd like to show the name but not any trailing information. I've achieved this by using the following formulas: In Col J: =IF(I8="","",(LEFT(I8,2))) This will result in a value of 'AR, AV, BD' - as per the example above. In Col K: =MID(TRIM(LEFT(I8,LEN(I8)-2)),4,999) This will result in a value of 'All Risks, Agricultural Vehicle' However, where a second code isn't present a Col I cell (as per 'Breakdown' above), the col K formula still removes the last two digits, therefore displaying 'Breakdo'. The problem is that there's no consistency - some have codes, some don't and those that do, don't necessarily match the first code. Is there a way though, of getting the result I need by adding something else to the Col K formula? |
