Nel post
*HBF* ha scritto: I have data in cells that are formatted in a code.name format I need the name, but not the code - the code is always 5 characters. The name lenght is random. How do I get rid of the code and keep the name? If the format is really and always code.name with the code always of 5 characters, you have two way: 1) use the formula below =MID(A1,7,LEN(A1)-6) 2) menu Data, Text in columns and use the dot as separator for the columns. -- (I'm not sure of names of menues, option and commands, because translating from the Italian version of Excel...) Hope I helped you. Ciao Franz Verga from Italy |
