    Insert a character into a string

    Hi
    I have a sheet with one of the columns containing a 12 character set of letters and numbers, eg XAV907001024. What I want to do is to insert - between the 6th and 7th numbers. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    John

    Try:

    =REPLACE(A1,10,0,"-")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
