    remove the dash

    I need to remove the dash from a zip+4 field and possible put the
    eight digits in new column.

    One would assume that

    =Left(A1,4)&Right(A1,4)

    when placed in the cell that you want the eight digits in would do this.

    Sorry for the double post.

    If I use the =Left(A1,4)&Right(A1,4), shouldn't the LEFT be 5?
    The ZIP exp; 02771-1234 should the formula be =Left(A1,5)&Right(A1,4)?

    Aaha - now we find the format of a zip - (it was omitted on your post, and the Zip+4 and 8 characters suggested a 4 character zip)

    Yes, adjust the Left-Right to suit, but that will give nine characters.
