Hi

Can anyone help me.

I have a database where a cell has text or numbers (example Cell: B1:
contains company name : excel corporation 2008 Limited

I need to copy the first 4 characters in cell B1: into A1: EXCE

I also need the text to be in uppercase in A1 even when lowercase in B1.

Assume I need to change the number of characters copied over from 4 to 2 or
6. How would the formula change?

If the excel sheet I was working on had 1000 rows of data, would I just drag
the formula down from A1 to A100?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
