$$Excel-Macros$$ VBA remove character at beginning and end of string (cell)
Greetings, We have a scanner we use to scan a barcode for blood units for a hospital into an Excel spreadsheet. The scanner reads the entire barcode, but we want to remove 00 at the end of the scanned string. If there isn't 00 at the end, make it null cell. We are using the correct symbology for the barcode scanner. Sub trunkit() For ctx = 2 To 100 If Right(Cells(ctx, 3), 2) = ”00” Then Trim (Right(Cells(ctx, 3), 2)) Else IsNull (Cells(ctx, 3)) End If Next ctx End Sub -- Are you =EXP(E:RT) or =NOT(EXP(E:RT)) in Excel?

Are the entire code only numerics, or are they alpha numeric?

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ VBA remove character at beginning and end of string (cell)
Hi Sam, When the barcode is scanned it reads in alphnumerics and symbols. The only symbol we have to worry about is the = sign at the beginning. In the example above I just asked about the 00 at the end. If I can get the code for the 00, I should be able to figure out the code for the = at the beginning. An actual scanned example is: =W05631300409200. If the column is formatted as text, the = is retained in the string, otherwise, Excel will try to do something with it, and it isn't understood.
