Cleveland oh, 45120
e Rutherford nj, 06034

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Welcome to the Board!

Try this formula (for an entry in cell A1):
Code:
=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-10) & "," & RIGHT(A1,10)

One other question … sorry - how do I convert that information now into actual "data" so that I can use the delimited function? Thank you
