Combine text and formula?
In Col A I have number strings that indicate the year in either the first 2 or the first 3 numbers 204359687456 - 2004 year 982356441445 - 1998 year I can use MID and LEFT to get 04 and 98 in Col B, but I want to add the 'prefix" of 20 or 19 so that the list will sort in the Worksheet column and Pivot Table row. Any help is appreciated. -- Curalice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Curalice's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28600 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=502725 |
