Split? Merge?? Find??? Trim????
Morning all,
I've never done this before, and it is just confusing. I have two columns, One for the Operating System and one for the version.
What I need to do is Trim bits from both columns and make one combined column, as such...
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0 (16299) Windows 10 (16299)
Windows 7 Professional 6.1 (7601) Windows 7 (7601)
Mac OS X 10.13.6 Mac OS X (10.13.6)
Windows 8.1 Enterprise 6.3 (9600) Windows 8.1 (9600)
I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.
