I import a file of Weights, Stones and Pounds always into column D2. They have to be imported from the Web as text and always have the (dash) as the Separator.

D2 9-7
D3 8-12
D4 8-11 etc down to D30.

Is there a Macro to convert these into just lbs leaving just this one number in the same Cell?

D2 133
D3 124
D4 123 etc

Thanks

comic,

Try this...

Code:
Sub Convert()
For Each cell In Range("D2:D30")
If (InStr(1, cell, "-")) = 0 Then GoTo NextOne
If Not cell = "" Then
Stones = Left(cell.Text, InStr(1, cell, "-") - 1)
Pounds = Right(cell.Text, Len(cell) - InStr(1, cell, "-"))
cell.Value = (Stones * 14) + Pounds
End If
NextOne:
Next cell
End Sub
Hope that helps.
