Hello,
My vendors send me files with alphanumeric part numbers.
Is there a way to quickly insert a hyphen between the alpha and the number? Here are some examples:
The vendors worksheet reads: I would like it to read:
AR11A AR-11-A
SBK870T SBK-870-T
MBPT-123AB MBPT-123-AB
If anyone could help me with this I would appreciate it.
Thank You,
JS Peterson

jspeterson,
Is it always in the format of 'group of letters' - 'group of numbers' - group of letters'?
Hope that helps,

Try this in B2, assuming your data is in A2 down
Drag/Fill Down.=SUBSTITUTE(A2,LOOKUP(99^99,--("0"&MID(A2,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A2&"0123456789")),ROW($1:$10000)))),"-"&LOOKUP(99^99,--("0"&MID(A2,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A2&"0123456789")),ROW($1:$10000)))) &"-")
