Thanks, J!
-- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "JMB" wrote in message ... Select your finished product, copy then click Edit/Paste Special/Values to convert the formulae to constants. Then delete the other columns you don't need (verify the paste special works before deleting the source). I also wanted to jump in and congratulate Biff and Roger on reaching their goals - very well deserved recognition! "B.W." wrote: Thank-you, I have both parts together. I would like to delete the the columns in which they are separate, without affecting the finished product. Is this possible.

"mfdou" wrote: If using the hyphen as the deliminator separates the two parts of your phone numbers, you can put them back together fairly easily. make sure there is an empty column to the right of the two columns with the phone number and enter =(cell&"-"&cell) in the first cell of the empty column - for instance, =(A1&"-"&B1) This will give you back your phone numbers with the hyphen.

In the EditReplace operation: Find what: hold down the ALT key and using the *numeric keypad* type 0160 let up on the ALT key then type the dash then hold down the ALT key and using the *numeric keypad* type 0160 Replace with: , (comma) Replace All Close Then do the text to columns Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "B.W." wrote in message ...

I am trying to split 700 names with phone numbers. They are in column A. There are hyphens between the names and phone numbers. Do I have to replace it with a coma and if so can i do the first one and copy it to do the rest or do i have to do each one individually. I not really caught on to this posting yet, so please accept my thanks in advance. Any help is very much appreciated. ie John Doe - 250-555-5555 |

Not a realistic goal.
Try something else like "To not embarrass myself as a MVP!.......too often"g Gord On Mon, 2 Jul 2007 21:26:40 -0400, "T. Valko" wrote: Thanks, Gord! A few months ago you posted that becoming an MVP was your goal so what's your next goal? |

My congratulations also. Well deserved. There'll be a newcomer's meeting
soon (another privacy thing) which you may have already received notice about - be sure and set that account up so you can attend. "Roger Govier" wrote: Thanks Max. Dave has given the reason for the lack of a list. I have not got round to setting up a Profile on the website yet, neither would I imagine have many other of the "newbie's" . -- Regards Roger Govier "Max" wrote in message ... I am also very happy to be joining you, and hope I can live up to expectations!!! Hey Roger, subtle comment, but I didn't miss that ... My congratulations to you too! Cheers P/s: Is there a reference namelist of the new kids on the MVP-Excel block available ? Or, could someone kindly take a moment to list these new kids? -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
