    Question Formula To Link Partial Data

    Hi there;

    Here's my scenario:
    Cell A receives a value in this format: ZYX 1-038 Rev 06
    Cell B needs to have all the data from Cell A minus the ' Rev 06' linked to it and display this: ZYX 1-038
    Cell C needs to have all the data from Cell A minus the 'ZYX 1-038 ' linked to it and display this: Rev 06

    What kind of formula would I need to accomplish something like that?
    There is so much good in the worst of us,
    And so much bad in the best of us,
    That it hardly behooves any of us
    To talk about the rest of us.

    If the data are the same length.

    Maybe with data => text to column=> fixed width
    Notice my main language is not English.

    if the data is always the same length, left(cell, length) and right(cell, length) should give you what you need?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    So I'd need 2 formulas I imagine - but how would I write them out? And yes, the data will always be the same length.
