Hello All...

I have an example, which I can't find any example of VBA to get a solution.
If I have a cell contents of: ACE-1D / F-R3. I'm trying to find code that will take away the "/F-R3" so just the "ACE-1D" remains.
This is one example, the next cell may have ACI-5 / 19...and so on.
So basically, I wish to keep everything to the left of the forward slash, and do away with everything else.
Thanks for the help
 
It needs to be like this
Code:
Dim cl As Range
For Each cl In Range("C7", Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
   cl.Value = Split(cl.Value, " /")(0)
Next cl

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop

Oh...I thought I had to define what the last row was.

Nope, that's done here
Code:
For Each cl In Range("C7", [COLOR=#ff0000]Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)[/COLOR])

Ohh yea...

So I'm trying the same type of code:
Code:
For Each cl In Range("D7", Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
   cl.Value = Split(cl.Value, "TCTO ")(0)
Next cl

It is finding "TCTO ". However, it's deleting the entire cell.
For example: TCTO 1695-2(G) is cleared so the cell is blank, instead of leaving 1695-2(G)?

I tried messing around with the (0) but that brought on an error. So, I'm not seeing the difference here from your previous code that found the " /"

In the first request you wanted everything BEFORE the split value, now you want everything AFTER. That's why it's returning nothing.
Change the (0) to (1)

I had tried this, and it gives me an error "Subscript out of range"
Thanks for the help

Do you have any cells in the range that do not contain "TCTO "?

Code:
For Each cl In Range("D7", Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
If cl.Value = "TCTO " Then
   cl.Value = Split(cl.Value, "TCTO ")(1)
   End If
Next cl

I tried putting an IF statement in, but it didn't work.

Try
Code:
If InStr(1, Cl.Value, "TCTO ", 1) > 0 Then
