Hi,
Have about 60,000 records
all are dates like so..
09-NOV-10 11.23.41.000000000 PM
want to remove all characters after the space so I can strip the timestamp out and just be left with..
09-NOV-10
can someone tell me an easy way to do this ?
thanks.

try this in another column:
=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)+0
and formatted as date
where A1 has current string copied down.
You can then copy and paste special >> Values over the original, if desired and remove the formula column.
Where there is a will there are many ways.
