    Removing text

    Hi All

    Need help to remove text within a cell

    Mac123ab
    KFC321
    BK999ab
    Longjohn22ab
    PizzaH45

    The data which I require to remove is "ab" which may/may not be present.
    The "ab" would always be at the end of the data.

    Re: Removing text

    Either do a global replace or use SUBSTITUTE in a helper cell.

    =SUBSTITUTE(A1,"ab","")

    or a VBA routine to remove the text in the cell (also using SUBSTITUTE)
