Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
With the formula you will not put the results in the same place (column C) as source data.
So let's produce results in columns D and E.
If your data starts in C2 then
in D2:
Excel Formula:
=left(C2,len(C2)-1)
and in E2
Excel Formula:
=right(C2,1)

Edit: After publishing I noted that it is yours 3000+ post. The question seens to be too basic for such experienced user. So may be there is some catch?

No I just use it all for work and don't have the time to learn it all.

So it means you have "free subcontractors" here :-/.

Not_learning_just_using approach hurts me as a lecturer (since mid '90ties).

Anyway, if it worked, consider marking the solution: Mark as Solution

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought this was a free forum and up to those that want to help?
