    Removing lines

    Hello,

    I need to remove like 500 lines from excel 2010 , but not the whole line, just a part of it.
    As i don't know much about excel, and kinda pointless to remove one by one these lines, then i thought perhaps i'll find some help in here.
    Pic: The dark area must be removed.

    Thank you for bothering.

    Re: Removing lines

    You say remove the dark area.

    In all your data the "dark area" is the data from the first occurrence of the slash character / to the end of the line.
    So is it correct to say on each line remove data from the first occurrence of the slash character / to the end of the line?
    If so use a Helper column and try this:

    =RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-(FIND("/",A1)+1))

    and copy down the column

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
