    Exclamation easy problem, mirror information in cells, need help!

    i have a list of data as the following


    9910/1758
    9910/1757
    9910/1756
    9910/1755


    id like to make it so that the last 4 digits come first, in essence "mirroring" it. moving the last 4 digits to the front and the front 4 to the last...

    1758/9910
    1757/9910
    1756/9910
    1755/9910

    the 9910 changes in my list, so it is not a fixed number! it goes from 0002 to 9910, but it the cells always stays in the form "4 numbers / 4 numbers"

    if this makes no sense just reply and ill try to make it more clear with more examples

    In a empty cell enter formula

    Change formula reference from A1 to your column and cell

    =RIGHT(A1,4)&"/"&LEFT(A1,4)

    Copy formula down column as required.


    If required you can also copy column and pastespecial values to get rid of formula and leave only values
