Hello:

I have a column of numbers, the numbers being 10 digits wide in each cell.

I would like to "cut", or cull, 4 digits from part of each number, and save
them
to a different column.

(In other words, to divide the column into two columns with part of the
number(s) in each)

I seem to remember that there was a vertical line that you could call up to
place between two digits in a cell that would separate the cell at that
point into two columns.

One of the Format commands, I think, but can't seem to find it anymore.

Any suggestions on how to do this ?

Thanks,
Bob
 
You could also do this with a formula, e.g.

=LEFT(a1,4) for the leftmost 4 digits

or

=MID(a1,4,4)

gives you the middle 4 digits etc.
