Text to columns no delimiter

BillyL14

Hi

 

I have a list of code that start with two letters and then between 8 and 10 numbers ie. GY783529082

 

I was trying to use the text to columns tool to separate the letters from the numbers but I am not really sure what to put in as the delimiter?

 

Thanks

Hi @BillyL14,

 

maybe use the formuła tool.

Left tool and substring tool should help you.

For substring use Substring([column],3,8) and for left tool left([column],2) and you should achieve same result.
