Hi:

How can i leave only the coordinates and supress the text from the string next string:

Command: ID Specify point: X = 5068.7648 Y = 224.3896 Z = -4063.3161

When i copy this from the AutoCad, it copies it the whole text only in the first cell (A1 for example)
This is for a large list of points (exactly as the showed above)..... So i need, basicly, to convert the data pasted in one cell to the next format:

Xvalue Yvalue Zvalue.

At the moment i'm using the TextToColumn tool and manually deleting the columns that i don't need but is extremely slow..... so thats i'm asking for your valuable help.

Thank A lot
 
copy into the formula bar for the cell in excel and not into the cell directly. check to see the "=" is in there at the front too. Noone else can reproduce your problem so not sure what else to tell you...

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
