    Parse a Spreadsheet

    Hi everyone, OK to the point. I need to pull a part number from a spreadsheet which had 517 incidence's. They all start the same way (FC) and then have an 8 digit wild card. I need to move them from the column that they are all in to another column, but they are not the only text with in the present column so just copy and paste will not work. Any ideas?

    One way


    In 1st row of another column put this formula (change A1 as required)
    =IF(LEFT(A1,2)="fb",A1,"")
    Copy formula down column as far as required


    If you want to change the formula to values
    Copy Column with formula
    Use PasteSpecial > Values paste the column back into the same column
