In Excel 2003 I have a positional file and I want to space fill

  • 0

In Excel 2003 I have a positional file and I want to space fill with a delimiter of “~” for 15 total characters. How can I ensure that each first name has exactly 15 characters prepended with “~” at the end for space fill. I tried to do this in custom format mode, but it doesn’t work correctly.

Examples:

SALLY~~~~~~~~~~
TOM~~~~~~~~~~~~
FRED~~~~~~~~~~~

etc…
