[JOHN ALMEDA]

HOW DO YOU DELETE THE LAST CHARACTER IN A STRING??

I HAVE SOME ITEM ID AND NEED TO DELETE THE LAST CHARACTER

EXAMPLE: C-1202A NEDD TO MAKE IT C-1202

John,

Try this:

=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)

[Ron de Bruin]

Try this with the string in a1

=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)

Hi,
this formula will replace the character in the 7th
position (the A) with a blank:
=REPLACE(A1,7,1,"")
HTH.
