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

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"

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
