Function KillText(cellinput) As String
Set cellinput = cellinput(1)
CharVal = ""
For i = 1 To Len(cellinput)
Select Case Mid(cellinput, i, 1)
Case 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, " ", "-", "/", "%"
CharVal = CharVal & Mid(cellinput, i, 1)
End Select
Next i
KillText = CharVal
End Function

Hi All.........

I don't remember where I got this code, or if it ever worked,....but I
need
it now to delete all the characters in a cell except the ones indicated
not...........
I'm pasting it into a regular module and putting =KillText(A1) in cell B1
and all I get is #VALUE!

Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong please?........or have a better
suggestion?

Function KillText(cellinput) As String
Set cellinput = Intersect(cellinput.Parent.UsedRange, cellinput)
For i = 1 To Len(cellinput)
Select Case Mid(cellinput, i, 1)
Case 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, " ", "-", "/","%"
charval = Mid(cellinput, i, 1)
Case Else
charval = ""
End Select
KillText = KillText & charval
Next i
End Function

TIA
