Hi there,

LL58 8YL


In the second column I want to insert a if statement (or other) that meets the following criteria,

If starts with,

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().

Hi - I might be able to help!

Can I clarify exactly what you are trying to do, you have your long list of postcodes, do you want them to be placed under the headings of the names?

Let's try post#2 again!

Assuming that you can ALWAYS identify postcode to name with 2 leftmost characters

Maintain ONE list

Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit
[Table="width:, class:head"][tr=bgcolor:#E0E0F0][th] [/th][th]
A
[/th][th]
B
[/th][/tr]
[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#E0E0F0]

[/td][td]2 first
characters
of PostCode
[/td][td]Name[/td][/tr]
