I use the dot for my decimal point and I could change that to a comma with no
trouble.

What error do you get?

Maybe you could try just changing the commas to nothing. Depending on how your
numbers are grouped, it may even be a better choice???

Hi Dave
Thank you for your help.
The commas are decimal separators and I need to change it to a period.
I did try manually to type the commas and to see if it would remove them but to
no availed.
If I use the "Find/Replace" menu, I can make it work but I get an error message.
even if I get an error, it still makes the corrections.

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
