Using Trim with wildcards possible?
I am trying to trim a spreadsheet with a lot of text similar to the following
text below, where I want all characters BEFORE the APCo: 30/ deleted. Someone told me to use TRIM(*30/ ) as a wildcard rather than count out specific characters, but I can't get the formula to work. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks. CABLE-FACILITIES/CABLEPLANT/ APCo: 30/ 21697-CDW DIRECT LLC / TR# 1,750/1 / Ref# DFZ6761 |

With your data in A1, try the following:
=RIGHT(A1,(LEN(A1)+1)-FIND("APCo: 30/",A1)) HTH, Paul -- "RK" wrote in message ...
