Hi,
I have a work sheet column in which i want to reverse the order of alphabatic numbers like this

1234LSB change to LSB1234
1458C change to C1458
8769TTA change to TTA8769

Would be grateful if somebody suggest a code to this activity automatically
Thanks

Hi Sarfaraz,

Here's a function I put together that will do what you are suggesting. You can apply this to the cells as needed. Let me know how you get on.

Function LettersAtFront(inputcell As Range) As String

cnt = 1

While IsNumeric(Mid(inputcell, cnt, 1)) And cnt <= Len(inputcell) + 1
cnt = cnt + 1
Wend


If cnt > Len(inputcell) Then
LettersAtFront = inputcell
Else
LettersAtFront = Mid(inputcell, cnt, Len(inputcell)) & Mid(inputcell, 1, cnt - 1)
End If


End Function

=mid(A1,5,10)&left(a1,4)

Snb,

Always interesting to figure out what your code does.
In this case, from Cell "A1", take the last, up to 10, characters starting at the fifth, then add the first 4 characters.

Requirements:
The numeric character count is always 4.
There are never more than 10 alpha characters.

Actually, you don't need the , 10. Mid(A1, 5) will give you everything but the first four characters of A1.
