    Remove certain columns

    We have this program called Naviance Family Connections at our school. It's new. I am a school counselor who is learning how to do the technology stuff since we purchased it and must provide our own technology help with it.

    I have this 3000 column excel doc that is our course code list.

    In column B, we have a title of the column in row 1 and the rest are four to six letter codes for each class. I need to figure out a way to tell excel to remove all the rows that have a code in column B if the code in that is in that column contains a S at the end. Then, for the remaining codes, I need to tell excel to remove the F at the end of each code in column B if there is an F at the end of the code. The F is for fall and the S is for spring. We need to then take replace all the 5's in column C and replace it with 10. That part I think I can handle. It's the fall and spring semesters that I don't know how to do.

    I would greatly appreciate this and it would allow our students to create a four year plan on the internet for their parents to see and work on with their student. It will help students see our college prep classes.

    Thank you so much,
    HS_Counselor.
