    How to remove text from a cell....everything before a comma...

    I have some data that I need to sort to a single set of numbers
    the exporting from the program I am using pits it out to a value that has a time stamp next to all data

    example...
    0, 2524.898
    0.22, 2506.475
    0.27, 2499.375
    0.31, 2509.34
    0.34, 2519.315
    0.43, 2524.049

    I want to remove the stuff before the comma...
    so it would just read
    2524.898
    2506.475
    2499.375
    2509.34
    2519.315
    2524.049

    is there any way I can do this in excel?

    I have about 15 columns I need to remove that time stamp from so I can use the data for a calculation in a new spreadsheet

    and I am using Excel 2007

    Try using Text to Columns and use a comma as the seperator, delete the unwanted data column

    I rarely return to a problem once I've answered it so make sure you clearly define what the trouble is.

    Not sure I understand how to do that on a second sheet
    the software spits out a .csv file
    every column has a [Time-stamp,Data-Value]


    attached is the file I have...converted to an xlsx so I could attach it

    I need the new column created to be placed on a new sheet, and I need to to do it automatically so I can copy in the data, and it will spit out a new sheet that I can use in a different workbook

    (basically I need it to create this data on sheet 2)
