Move selected data from series column to a new custom column
I have a custom column defined as a series +series index column. I like to move the info (series name and index) from the series column to the other column for a selected number of books.
Is there a simple way to do this? I have to move the info for many many books so retyping is hardly an option. I have looked at this forum but could not find an answer |

Thanks for your quick respons. It's working. I only have to do the move in 3 parts. First the serie name, than the serie index and than delete the info in the sending column. It's no big deal.
I will start studying the regex options. I have never used it before. |
