removing firsts two numbers from a list of #s
I have a large list of numbers that are, as an example, 20-13-240. I want to
remove the first "20" from each number. Is there a quick way of doing that? thanks! |
Hi
one option, (on a backup copy of your workbook) select the data and choose data / text to columns choose fixed width and press next click on the preview bit after the 20 so you have 20|-13-240 where the | is the line drawn in by excel click next then for the 20 choose "do not import" click in the -13-240 bit and choose "text" click FINISH Cheers JulieD "Linny51" wrote in message ...
