The correct answers are attached- I may have put a few in the wrong order but the order does not matter- only the number
of characters. So, the answer is correct. I just need an equals sign equation.

I am extracting the first series of data and then I am putting all of the answers in separate columns
by separating them into separate columns.


File is here

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
or this is the onedrive. Not sure if you can download from either link. I dont know how onedrive works.

oh nevermind it worked. The reason why it didnt work before was because when I first
started this spreadsheet I changed all of the cells formats to TEXT ONLY.

If you do that (like I did) the formula does not work.

So I opened a new spreadsheet, copied column A and then put your formula in Column B.

Thanks Fluff!

i tried the formula and it did not work. I may have done it wrong. Another thing you
could do is upload the excel file with the correct results, since I uploaded the sample
excel file.

Although a formula solution is preferred.... a VBA solution would be fine if you upload
the excel file. I have An Apple Computer, so I think I wrote that on my profile.

Many thanks!
See you got sorted , yes if the data was text the formula would not work for you
