I am pulling information out of a database and pasting it in Excel (Office Pro Plus 2010). I get 6 columns of info. I need to get 2 of the columns formatted to paste on another sheet. 1 column has part numbers formatted like this :
...1....123456789
......2....123456789
.........3....123456789
I need to delete everything except the last 9 digits all the way down the column so I can copy and paste a neat column with just the last 9 digits. I just went through ~1000 cells deleting the ...1.... and ......2.... etc. My fingers hurt. I have to do this 10,000 more times. Is there a better way to automate this process ?
Very new to Excel.......please be nice.
