I am new to setting up Excel to fill out columns for me and need some =
help, please? Not even sure if I need a macro or what.
I have a column of data in the format(s)
#LL#### or
##LL####.

I need to pick up the first number(s), eliminate the Letters, then pick =
up the next 2 #'s, then change the last 2#'s to 0's (in a new column).

Can anyone please give me some help on where I start or what I need to =
do?

TIA
CKL

If there are either 7 or 8 characters always you can use a simple IF
function


=IF(LEN(A1)=7,100*(LEFT(A1,1)&MID(A1,4,2)),100*(LE FT(A1,2)&MID(A1,5,2)))

Thank You for your input Peo!
However, when I input that statement, I get the return #VALUE!
Unfortunately, I don't know enough to know where the problem may be.

Another way:

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(A1),"LL",""),RIGHT(A1 ,2),"00")*1

Duh! Thanks so much! It worked just fine (just didn't edit the cell =
location correctly!)
(and more than that - I actually understand (most of) it! <g It has =
been over 30 years since I used IF/THEN statements!)

Thanks Biff! Although not as familiar looking...... (read - "new" to me =
<g"), it makes sense.....
I will take a look at this too - just to learn!

Hi!

If the "LL" will always be in uppercase as in your example, you can make the
formula a little shorter:

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"LL",""),RIGHT(A1,2),"00 ")*1
