Hi NRASA0743

yes, that's because this was the formula that you wanted to put in the cell based on your original question.

Sorry, now I think I understand: You want only the last 4 characters of whatever is currently in the cell? This should do it:

Selection.Value = Right(Selection.Value, 4)

Please note that this works only for single cells, not for a selection of multiple cells.

Hi NRASA0743

you do not need a cell variable. And you need to set the RIGHT-formula in quotation marks.

This should do it:

Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=RIGHT(""****"",4)"

  Hi NRASA0743
  
  do you get an error or does the makro jump into the break mode?

    Martin_Weiss macro only shows the "*****" but not the last 4 characters. No error or break mode.
