,I have SD03*10 in a cell and I want in a separate cell, just to have the
numbers after the *. Obviously with lots of data, the digits after the * could be 1 to many characters so I cannot use the Left function. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I don't waste any more time! |

You could place this formula to the direct right of the cell that you want to parse. "CELL" = the cell address to the left of the formula where the data is stored. =MID(CELL,FIND("*",CELL1)+1,LEN(CELL)-FIND("*",CELL,1)) Hope its not too complicated and that it helps. HpY :) |

You can make it less complicated by using the RIGHT function instead of MID
(see my earlier suggestion). -- David Biddulph "HpyTrvlr69" wrote in message ... You could place this formula to the direct right of the cell that you want to parse.
