    Small function and combine

    Hello, I'm having a issue that might be super simple for some of you but I think I'm over thinking it. But I need the data in columns "J" "K" "L" "M" with out a alpha or any number small then 7 digits. It could be as high as 9 digits. The same goes for columns "O" "P" "Q" "R". The finished results need to be like in columns "A" "B" "C" "D".


    I hope I have given enough information.

    Thanks
    Mark

    It looks like everything should be deleted since column M is only alpha. This does not jive with your after, since D is allowed to have alpha.

    Re: Small function and combine

    Sorry, I should have said that J and O are the ones that I can use alpha in. Basically I need to combine the (J" "K" "L" "M") ("O" "P" "Q" "R) into "A" "B" "C" "D" with the alpha ones in J and O. I need all the U#### and the four digit numbers removed from the completed combined columns.

    A-B-C-D is the completed finished product. I want a simple way to combine them without copying and paste to create it. I don't need all the U#### and the four digit numbers removed from the completed combined columns.

    I hope this helps,
    Mark

    Unfortunately, without going into VBA (which is not a simple way) the easiest path is to copy/paste/sort/filter.
    I would cut/paste the OPQR block to the end of the JKLM block. Then I would create a helper column (likely N) with a function like this:
    =AND(ISNUMBER(J3),LEN(J3)>6)
    (drag this formula down to the end of the list).
    I would then sort the JKLMN block with column N and then delete all of the rows where N is FALSE

    I think you're right I need to use VBA. Any advice on how to do that?
