    truncate data

    I have data in column A looks like this "abc def (xxx: yyy zzzz)"

    What I want to do is to search every cell in column A and truncate the data after "(xxx:" as "yyy zzzz)" is variable and "(xxx:" is constant.

    Could anybody help me out. Thanks in advance.

    Re: truncate data

    Select the column, replace :* with :

    Or, in code,

    Columns("A").Replace ":*", ":"
