My formulas return the formula not a result in the cell
Try
="00-1-36000-21800 SPPNT HUGGIES GOODNITES"=LEFT(A2,16) But that the text string is at least 40 characters so it can't be TRUE -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom Portland, Oregon "1stcoast" wrote in message ...

Try this:
First, make sure B1 is not formatted as Text. Select B1, then FormatCellsNumber Tab (Category should NOT be Text) If the format is OK, then: Select B1 DataText-to-ColumnsClick the [Finish] button Does that fix the problem? Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "1stcoast" wrote: Cell A1 Formula in cell B1 00-1-36000-21800 SPPNT HUGGIES GOODNITES =LEFT(A2,16) The calculation returns the formula not a result.
