I have excel sheet with around 2000 entry that I need to change them all at once.
Eace row begins with
AC-DF-01
AC-SW-02
AC-JK-04
AC-QQ-05
AC-DF-06
AC-VW-07
I need to rearrange the coding of these entry to make the digits before the middle letter: AC-01-DF instead of AC-DF-01
Is there any code in VB or excel can do it for me automatically?
Thanks
You can't make the changes on the fly with a formula, but you can get the format you want in an adjacent column and then copy-paste values over the originals - is this something you could work with?

Thank you for your reply, Ali. That would be good choice.
But how could I split and rearrange the value to the new column?
Regards,

Like this:
=LEFT(A1,3)&RIGHT(A1,2)&MID(A1,3,3)
Ali, didn't you forget the hyphens ?
Just for fun.

Avoid using Select, Selection and Activate in your code. Use With ... End With instead.

No - they are included. Did you try it?
Your adaptation of mine duplicates the hyphens:
Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit
AC-DF-01 AC-01-DF AC--01--DF AC-SW-02 AC-02-SW AC--02--SW AC-JK-04 AC-04-JK AC--04--JK AC-QQ-05 AC-05-QQ AC--05--QQ AC-DF-06 AC-06-DF AC--06--DF AC-VW-07 AC-07-VW AC--07--VW
Sheet: Sheet2

Sorry Ali, my bad. Didn't take notice of the numbers in the functions.
More coffee, Rudi?
