Splitting the contents of a cell?
Hi,
I have several columns of data that contain data such as:3001001E:Name I want to keep what is on the right side of the colon. How could I do this with a function? Thanks. |

Dan,
try the following formula, which assumes that your text is in A1. MID(A1, FIND(":", A1)+1, LEN(A1) HTH Kostis Vezerides |

For 3001001E:Name in Cell A1
B1: =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-(SEARCH(":",A1))) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron "Dan B" wrote: Hi, I have several columns of data that contain data such as:3001001E:Name I want to keep what is on the right side of the colon. How could I do this with a function? Thanks. |

That worked perfectly. I would like to understand the logic behind that
function. If you get a minute, could you give me a quick explanation. Thank you so much!! "vezerid" wrote in message oups.com... Dan, try the following formula, which assumes that your text is in A1. MID(A1, FIND(":", A1)+1, LEN(A1) HTH Kostis Vezerides |
