Default Can't replace commas with period

Maybe the values in the cells don't contain commas. Maybe they're just plain
old numbers formatted to show commas (either as the thousands separator or the
decimal point????).

Hi Everyone

Below are my codes that I use to clean my data coming from the internet.
They all work except the first one (Find all the commas "," and replace with a
period (.) )
Can anyone tell me why?

Option Explicit

Sub Clean_Data()

Range("J3:L60").Select
Cells.Replace What:=",", Replacement:=".", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder _
:=xlByColumns
Range("J3:L60").Select
Cells.Replace What:="$", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:= _
xlByColumns

Range("J3:L60").Select
Cells.Replace What:=" ", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:= _
xlByColumns

' ALT-0160
Range("J3:L60").Select
Cells.Replace What:=" ", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:= _
xlByColumns

End Sub

Regards
John
