Copy cell to a new cell

[mohd21uk via OfficeKB.com]

In Column B I have certain values which start with GB2 e.g GB2-02210. I would
to like to copy these values and paste it in another cell. I would like to do
this with only values which start with GB2. Many thanks

Hi there,

you also can show (the result of the function will be) the value, like in an
additional column, e.g.
=IF(LEFT(B2;3)="GB2";B2;"")
where in B2 the cell with the value (starting or not-starting with GB2)
and then copy the function downwards to fill this column

if the value starts with GB2; then will reveal the result, if not, will be
blank ("")
also the "GB2" argument can be replaced to a cell reference.. (like $C$1 <=
absolute reference)

Any good?
