So in other words, I need to nock off the first 2 characters in a cell. I think I have done this before in the formatting of a cell but can't remember for the life of me.
Thanks for any suggestions

Carl,

Use Data/Text to Columns, fixed width - select a divider to parse 2 characters, in the column data format option select [/b]Do not import column (skip)[/b]

Thanks Skip, I don't think I have ever seen that part of excel. I think my head may explode soon.
Thanks so much for ALL your help!!!
