Removing select informaion from cells
I have columns with numbers and symbols in. They look like this:
456456* 521369* 789456! I have highlighted the column and i want to remove any numbers in the cells but keep the symbol in the cell. I tried shift and F but i couldnt get it to do this for any number that appears in the cell, i found i had to type in the specific no then it would work. This is too time consuming, I have alot of columns! Any help will be appriciated. Thanks, -- Susan |

If the data is in column A, then
=RIGHT(A1,1) and copy down -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200791 "Sue" wrote: I have columns with numbers and symbols in. They look like this: 456456* 521369* 789456!

Removing select informaion from cells
Thanks, that worked but some cells only had a number and i wanted it to be
left blank but it has remained the last number that was in the cell, eg: 456896 now left with 6 Any ideas? -- Susan "Gary''s Student" wrote: If the data is in column A, then =RIGHT(A1,1) and copy down -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200791 "Sue" wrote: I have columns with numbers and symbols in.

Removing select informaion from cells
=IF(ISNUMBER(-RIGHT(A1,1)),"",RIGHT(A1,1))
This converts a trailing digit into a blank. Is this answer good enough?? -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200791 "Sue" wrote: Thanks, that worked but some cells only had a number and i wanted it to be left blank but it has remained the last number that was in the cell, eg: 456896 now left with 6 Any ideas? -- Susan "Gary''s Student" wrote: If the data is in column A, then =RIGHT(A1,1) and copy down -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200791 "Sue" wrote: I have columns with numbers and symbols in.

Removing select informaion from cells
Thanks, it worked!
In the same column i also had some numbers with no symbol. I wanted the number removed leaving a blank cell. Instead it has left the last number in the row eg: 456236 left 6 How can i change this?

Thanks, If all of your entries have at least 1 number, then: =SUBSTITUTE(A1,LOOKUP(9.9+307,--MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}, A1&"0123456789")),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))))),"" ) will return only the non-numbers. If the cell is blank, it will return a #REF! error, and if the cell contains only non-numbers, it will return a #N/A error. You can add logic to test for that, if necessary. --ron |
