Morning all,
I am trying to get data to be input from cells D1 to A1 (right to left) for a single digit but possibly up to 5 digits. Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Do you have a good sense of humor bamacwby? The reason I ask is because I wanted to be flippant as a response to you statement above because you're not asking a question. Usually I don't respond to these kinds of posts. The title of the thread is a question, but between the title and the statement I can't make sense of the request.

A formula cannot change the values of other cells. A series of formulas could read a single cell and break it into different sections based on a delimiter or other rules.

Can you please be more specific.

Jeff

If you look in the image I attached, I am trying to get the 0 in cell Z6, with the formula shown, to be input into cell AC6. At times Column 6 may have up to four numbers depending on what number i assign to the corresponding cell in the "Engine Formulas" tab.

Are you saying you want to display a zero if Cell 'Engine Formulas'!E4 has no value, otherwise you want to display each number in 'Engine Formulas'!E4 across Z6:AC6?

Does this do what you want?

=MID(TEXT('ENGINE FORMULAS'!E4,"0000"),SEQUENCE(1,4),1)

@bamacwby I'm thinking you need formula like below?

That still puts the 0 in cell Z6. I need the 0 in cell AC6 and if the number in cell "Engine Formulas E4 is 911, I need the numbers to start in cell AC6 and go right to left

I think if leading spaces are wanted, I think that this would suffice:
=MID(RIGHT(REPT(" ",4)&'Engine Formulas'!E4,4),SEQUENCE(1,4),1)

However you said sometimes 5 but your examples uses 4 cells. Can you please clarify?
