    Replacing a UPC Number without Modifying a Model Number

    Hell All,

    I figure there is a way to do this, but I am too new to excel to be familiar enough. I have about 1000 cells that need to have a upc number removed.

    Here is an example of the information the cell currently contains:

    Table - Manufacturer - Model 152552 - UPC 9598622601661

    I need to use find and replace (I think) to make the cell go to

    Table - Manufacturer - Model 152552

    Effectively removing the UPC. This needs to be done to about 1000 or so cells with all different UPC numbers so I figure find and replace is best?

    Any input is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks alot,
    Mike.

    Replace " - UPC*" (sans quotes) with nothing.

    Thanks Alot!

    Is there such a command for letters or characters as well?

    For example instead of UPC * to replace numbers, 123 ~ to replace letters?

    Thanks,
    Mike.

    No. See Help for wildcard characters.

    Oh I see,

    The * serves to eliminate and characters. Thanks!
