Hi all, a simple one for somebody!
Column A shows 100's of part codes much like the one shown:
1HAT60847BC-LB16SA
I want column B to show LB16SA.
Any bright ideas?
Thanks

Matt
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).

In case the segment you want to extract is of variable length, use:

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH("-",A1))

Or you could use text to columns on the data menu

- select delimited as your data type
- for your delimiter select other and enter "-"

this will also split your cells as requested
