    Love it. Just a few days ago I was extracting the file names from full paths and wrote some convoluted VBA to achieve it. This is much more clean and concise. Thanks!

    The way you break down and explain each and every step is amazing! The issue I am currently having is perhaps related to, but different than the 3 examples you showed. I want to add zeros to a text string of characters. The 6 numerical characters are broken into 3 pairs which are then separated by 2 hyphens. For example: 01-01-22.
    I wish to insert a zero to the right of each hyphen. Example: 01-001-022. I have tried various methods but to no avail. Any suggestions?

    • @Computergaga
      @Computergaga  4 года назад

      Thank you, Mike 👍 For your issues, this formula will work - =SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","-0")
      It assumes that your values begin in cell A1.

      Can do. I'm not sure what example(s) you're referring too. But they are both underestimated tools, that are worth gold to an Excel user.

    In MS-Excel, How can I Change as follows (automatically)-
    1 into 6, 2 into 7, 3 into 8, 4 into 9, 5 into 0, 6 into 1, 7 into 2, 8 into 3, 9 into 4, 0 into 5.
    As I type 248 in a cell, I would get 793 as result in another cell,
    As I type 806 in a cell, I would get 351 as result in another cell,
    As I type 100 in a cell, I would get 655 as result in another cell.

    • @Computergaga
      @Computergaga  3 года назад

      For automatic, a formula is possibly best with a lookup table to know what number to change to what. Then concatenate them.
      Otherwise, a macro, but you would need to know how to create that macro.
