Good morning, this is my first post and it is a similar question to Peter's on the separation of data.

I have a string of numbers (ISBN codes) and I want to pull out only 3 of them into a new column - in the number below it would be the ones in quotes. The numbers may be of differing lengths but it will always be the last 3 but one digits - the final complication is that the last figure may be either a number or letter. I hope this makes sense. Grateful for any help.



<TABLE style="WIDTH: 73pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=97 border=0 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 73pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3547" width=97><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD class=xl24 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #c0c0c0; BORDER-TOP: #c0c0c0; BORDER-LEFT: #c0c0c0; WIDTH: 73pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #c0c0c0; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=97 height=17 x:num="9780755955251">978075595'525'1</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
