Aloha
I need a formula/function that identifies part numbers that end in "-H".
IF it ends in "-H" I need it to put HILO in particular column.
THEN
Once it has the HILO location, I need it to EDIT the Part number to Remove the "-H" at the end so that it is the part number without "-H" at the end. This edited part number is to be entered in a particular column.

Using MS Office 365 on WIN 7
Multi column list of part numbers (30,000+):(

Please send me help as soon as possible: pray2:

This formulas in a particular column
IF(Right(A1,2)="-H","HILO,"")
Then Copy that column and in that column PasteSpecial >> Values

Then in a particular column
IF(Right(A1,2)="-H",A1,"")
Then Copy that column and in that column PasteSpecial >> Values
Then Select that column and Ctrl+H >> Find What = -H, Replace With = empty

I am converting a large list of parts from QuickBooks to FishBowl Inventory via CSV files.
In QB: Parts located in HILO have a "-H" on the end of the part number. If there's no "-H" at the end, then it is in KONA
In FB, we will be using the LOCATION fields to identify Hilo vs Kona, so I don't want to load the "-H" part numbers into FishBowl. I do, however, have QUANTITY values for each location and I don't want to lose those.
I'm asking this question because I think I need to first ID all parts with a "-H" and label them as HILO location Group. Default others to KONA Location Group.
Next I have to book the quantities, and I need it to give me HILO quantity of a Part Number that no longer has "-H" on the end (but it is identifiable as Hilo since the first step caused HILO to be input for Location Group)
If you have a simpler way to get there, I'd love to know how.
THANKS in advance for your help

Tap,

From your last post:

To put the Location in a particular column and leave all the part numbers in the original column:
This formula in the Location Column cells.
IF(Right(A1,2)="-H","HILO","KONA")

Hint: If you already have the originally suggested in place, Ctrl + H the column >> Find What = "", Replace With = "KONA"
You might have to first use the Menu: Tools >> Options >> View tab >> Window Options >> Formulas

Since you will Save-As = .csv, you don't need to: "Then Copy that column and in that column PasteSpecial >> Values."

With the Part number Column:
Select the column and Ctrl+H >> Find What = -H, Replace With = leave empty.
