Hi,

I have tens of thousands of item numbers. At time I need to circulate spreadsheets that contain them. However, there are times where I do not want people or organizations to know these exact item numbers.

Is there some tool, function or script that can change these item numbers to another item number in a batch form ?


Thanks,
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
To clarify - It would have to be consistent.

IE:

Original # ABC123 - New Number would be XYZ789

Another original # 123 would be 789.

In other words, it has to be scrambled code.
