    Help with seperating text with no space

    Hi,

    It would be better rather than explaining I show an example so in 1 cell, for example I have a title -

    Extreme SDXC Class 10 U3 Video Class 30, 64GB up to 150MB/sSDSDXV6-064G-GNCIN

    The problem is I need to seperate SDSDXV6-064G-GNCIN from the end of this but I have a lot and need it done in bulk, I have a sepearte column with the text that needs removing -

    Extreme SDXC Class 10 U3 Video Class 30, 64GB up to 150MB/sSDSDXV6-064G-GNCIN SDSDXV6-064G-GNCIN
    Mitre Bracket 8" x 5" GalvanisedAE4040G AE4040G

    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum

    Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    My General Rules if you want my help. Not aimed at any person in particular:

    1. How do you feel about Macros. These need to be run to affect your data. These can overwrite your input data or create a new column.

    2. How do you feel about User Defined Functions. These run automatically and create a new output column.

    3. I an assuming that the Part Number does not come listed alongside your text like in your sample. Formula for D2 =LEFT(A2,LEN(A2)-LEN(B2))

    your example is not so clear, if you know the part number its fine and

    =SUBSTITUTE(A2,B2,"",1)

    If not, we wouldn't know where to split
