I have column B filled with data that was delineated from extended raw information to now contain no more than 5 characters. After delineation the data now has values I want to keep and random pieces of text and numbers that I want to delete. The values i would like to keep will always be between 4 and 5 characters long. More specifically, I would like to keep any data that has numbers between 4 and 5 digits long, but some of the random 4 digit numbers have random letters following (3128t, 3244a, 1984g) and I would like to keep these values too. I assume it will require a filter using ####, #####, ####? or something to that affect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
