MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / March 2008suggestion
I have numbers in a column and an example of the numbers in one cell is 0 -000-2108-000 My problem is that I want to remove the first numbers, or hide them or sort the cell such that 2108 is in front. The bottom line is that I want to sort the column by the 2108 number and do it in an automated way rather than going 640 cells down deleting the front numbers, because I will also need them later. Any suggestions? If your numbers will all be the same format (ie.- end with 4 digits a hyphen and then 3 more digits), then one way would be to use a helper column: =MID(A1,LEN(A1)-7,4) Copy the formula down and sort on that column.
