formula to truncate text characters

[MarkT]

Greetings all,

This should be easy, but for the life of me I can't come up with the formula
solution myself. I would like to truncate some text characters of a model
number which is currently made up of the manufactuer and model number. The
manufactuer code is three digits, then followed by a "-", then comes the
model number. I want to remove the first four text characters, the
manufactuer code and the "-". Here is an example:

CLI-67700002
CLI-67818003
CLI-67846003
OSP-13-37N20D
OSP-13-37N30D
OSP-13-37N9WA
OSP-13-77N30D


I would like to have the above replace with:

67700002
67818003
67846003
13-37N20D
13-37N30D
13-37N9WA
13-77N30D

I am using 2007 w/ XP Pro. As in the past, I thank you for your anticipated
help!

Try this:

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-4)

Try

=MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)+1,99)

If this post helps click Yes

Put this in a helper column:

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-4)

then copy down as far as required.

Hope this helps.
