how do i replace ( with / without changing format to fraction
I have a text field with a '('.
ex: 125 108(130 I want to replace the '(' with a '/' without changing the format of the field to a fraction so my result would be '125 108/130' instead of changing it to '125.8307692' Would appreciate any help you could give me. |

Here's one way:
If A1= 125 108(130 In A2 you would have: =CONCATENATE(LEFT(A1,FIND("(",A1,1)-1),"/",RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("(",A1,1))) "Splt Window Diner" wrote: I have a text field with a '('. ex: 125 108(130 I want to replace the '(' with a '/' without changing the format of the field to a fraction so my result would be '125 108/130' instead of changing it to '125.8307692' Would appreciate any help you could give me. |
