I have 1 column of information with over a thousand rows of info. I want to
just delete some info in the cell and keep the rest. Anyone have any idea how

ASAP Utilities, a free Add-in available at www.asap-utilities.com has a built
in feature that will strip out all numerical characters from a string.

Try Data>Text to Columns then delete the columns you don't need.

Hello. I am new at excel to but try hitting f2 to edit the cell and do the
standard select functions and delete functions. hit enter and you are done.
I hope that is accurate.

Select the column and Data>Text to Columns>Delimited by>Space>Next.

Select the columns to Skip, which would be all but the letters, and Finish.
