I have a column with a string of 11 numbers. I want to drop off the first 3
and the last 2. What can make that happen.

According to Excel help file, you might try to use the functions LEN, LEFT,
RIGHT. I found the answer by going to help and searching remove characters. I
have not used the functions, so I have not offered the actual syntax, but
this looks to be correct.

Thank you - I had to adjust it to get the right numbers. It was a -5 at the
end.
But works great - thank you! Saves bunches of time.
 
You're welcome.........yeah, I caught my mistake right after I pressed the
"send" button.....thanks for the feedback

Vaya con Dios,
