Remove letters from text string
 
Hi

I run Excel 2K

I require a formula that removes the last 19 letters from a text string.

I have a number of varying lengths of text strings that require the last 10
letters being removed from each them.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

John

One view on this
.. a formula that removes the last 19 letters from a text string.


Maybe something like this would suffice,
in B1, copied down:
=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-19)
