    Get rid of a word in a cell

    I have column that has total on end of each number or word in a cell:

    Example:

    ABS895 Total
    VDRTB123 Total
    865 Total
    VDKRBTOD Total

    How do I get rid of word Total in each cell?

    Use Replace All. Replace " Total" with nothing (leave the replace with cell blank).

    If you always have a value, followed by a space, followed by the word total, then do this:

    Highlight all of the cells you want to fix, go to Data, Text to Columns. (It's under data in Excel 2010, not sure if it's same in your version)

    Choose Delimited, then click Next. Under Delimiters, check the box next to Space, then click Finished.

    Now you will have two columns, one with your values, and one with the word Total, which you can just delete.

    Hope that fixes your problem.
