How do I convert a number in Excel such as 1001-1 to 1001-01?
I have several hundred numbers in my Excel file that need to be converted as
noted in the subject. The sorting is awkward in that 1001-11 sorts before 1001-2 and is obviously out of order- at least for my purposes. -- SgtBob |

These aren't numbers to Excel, they're text. So you do something like this:
=if(len(a1)=6,left(a1,5)&"0"&right(a1,1),a1) Regards, Fred "Bob" wrote in message ... I have several hundred numbers in my Excel file that need to be converted as noted in the subject.

=LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1) & "-" & TEXT(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)+1,10),"00")

How do I convert a number in Excel such as 1001-1 to 1001-01?
Here's another formula to try out...
=IF(MID(A1,LEN(A1)-1,1)="-",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","-0"),A1) -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Bob" wrote in message ...
