Hey Roger, subtle comment, but I didn't miss that ...
My congratulations to you too! Cheers

P/s: Is there a reference namelist of the new kids on the MVP-Excel block
available ? Or, could someone kindly take a moment to list these new kids?

There's a privacy issue at work here. So I don't think you'll be seeing a list
posted.

But for those who choose to share, you can check:

Thanks Max.

Dave has given the reason for the lack of a list.
I have not got round to setting up a Profile on the website yet, neither
would I imagine have many other of the "newbie's" .

Select your finished product, copy then click Edit/Paste Special/Values to
convert the formulae to constants. Then delete the other columns you don't
need (verify the paste special works before deleting the source).

I also wanted to jump in and congratulate Biff and Roger on reaching their
goals - very well deserved recognition!

Thank-you, I have both parts together. I would like to delete the the
columns in which they are separate, without affecting the finished product.
Is this possible.

I forgot to mention - you have to then copy the formula by clicking in the
cell with the formula in it, then move the mouse over the lower right corner
until the cursor turns into a solid black cross, then click and drag the
formula all the way down to the bottom of your list.

If using the hyphen as the deliminator separates the two parts of your phone
numbers, you can put them back together fairly easily. make sure there is an
empty column to the right of the two columns with the phone number and enter
=(cell&”-“&cell) in the first cell of the empty column - for instance,
=(A1&"-"&B1) This will give you back your phone numbers with the hyphen.

Ok, it might be that those spaces are not standard char 32 spaces. They
might be char 160 non breaking spaces. In the EditReplace operation:

Find what: hold down the ALT key and using the *numeric keypad* type 0160
let up on the ALT key then type the dash then hold down the ALT key and
using the *numeric keypad* type 0160

Replace with: , (comma)
Replace All
Close

Then do the text to columns

I think I did everything you requested but i get a message " cannot find
the
data your searching for"

"T. Valko" wrote:

It looks like you have name space - space number.

Try this:

Select the range of cells in question
Goto the menu EditReplace
Find what: space-space
That is, type in a space then the dash then another space
Replace with: , (type in a comma)
Replace All
Close

With those cells still selected
Goto the menu DataText to Columns
DelimitedNext
CommaFinish

I am trying to split 700 names with phone numbers. They are in
column
A.
There are hyphens between the names and phone numbers. Do I have to
replace
it with a coma and if so can i do the first one and copy it to do the
rest
or
do i have to do each one individually. I not really caught on to this
posting
yet, so please accept my thanks in advance. Any help is very much
appreciated.
ie John Doe - 250-555-5555

Thanks, Gord!

A few months ago you posted that becoming an MVP
was your goal so what's your next goal?


To not embarrass myself as a MVP!

Dave, thanks for response/links
.. So I don't think you'll be seeing a list posted.

No choice, resigned to this then. disappointed, though, that such occasions
for us to rejoice/celebrate with new Excel MVPs should be stifled by privacy
issues ..

Yeah, I know what you mean. Harlan has already "tested" me. I guess I
passed!
