What I want to do is in the next column, enter a suffix matching the list from above. Example: original number: wyl-927-TH would read TH, wyl-987 would be blank, WMF-123-MX would show MX Any help in sorting out this problem would be appreciated. if there is a formual that could be incorporated into a macro or just a stand alone macro either will work for me.
