Hello -
I have an Excel spreadsheet that has 2 columns with many rows of numeric data in them. The cells have been defined as text fields. The problem I am having is I need to see if there is a way to express the RIGHT_worksheet_function with some sort of dynamic variable. I have a 5 digit number in many different rows of a particular column, and need to remove the first 2 numbers in it so that the last 3 numbers are all that is left in the field. The problem I am having is trying to figure out how to do this without having to manually do it. For example I have: A B 19 19010 20 20010 21 21010 ***NOTE*** Column A is already defined and only being used for example purposes. And so on... Is there any way to make the expression work for column B without having to change the expression's first 2 digits every time that changes? Right now I have only been able to get "=RIGHT(19010,3)" to work, but this will not longer work once the first 2 digits change in the number. I need to figure out if there is a way to make this formula dynamic for varying numbers. The end result needs to be: A B 19 010 20 010 21 010 ***NOTE*** Column A is already defined and only being used for example purposes. Much thanks in advance... |
