External Data needs to be separated
I have external data linked to columns A through G. In column A is the Task
Name. I have the task names listed in Project as 06-0207_task description. What I would like to do is have a column that takes out the 06-0207 portion and puts it into column H. I'd like it to be a formula so that when I update columns A through G, then H gets updated as well. Any ideas? This is all then being linked into Access to sort and group on other data that utilizes the 06-0207 portion of the tasks. Thanks. Mandy Jo |

Try this in H2:
=LEFT(A2,7) Copy it down as required. Hope this helps. Pete On Nov 28, 3:54 pm, Mandy J.S. wrote: I have external data linked to columns A through G. In column A is the Task Name.

External Data needs to be separated
Hi Pete,
I changed the 7 to a blank space and adjusted how the job # is called out in the schedule. It's a new naming convention and it hasn't been presented to anyone yet. I am doing all my prep work for a meeting tomorrow about it. Thanks. Mandy Jo "Pete_UK" wrote: Try this in H2: =LEFT(A2,7) Copy it down as required. Hope this helps.
