Hi, KarlWat
Is it the steps above that bothers you? Why not try to replace "0VIN" with "VIN" like below:

Then, remove redundant prefixes as needed.

Hi Zeon,
Thanks for your answer. This definitely saves steps! I guess I didn't want to go this way because when splitting it leaves a blank row, which of course I can filter out, so actually this makes more sense.
However, I still don't know how to replace in bulk with not exact matches, so will leave this open and see if there is any other person with insight on this!
Thanks,
