Hi there,

I have a column in an excel spreadsheet that is populated with one of two
things:

1. Normal text: i.e. words, numbers, addresses, etc...

or

2. A single 0 (zero)

What I want to do is execute a Find/Replace or similar command that will
eliminate the text in the cell if it is a single zero _without_ deleting
any
other zeroes in any of the other cells.

Doing a simple find/replace does get rid of the zeroes in the "zero cells"
but also gets rid of zeroes in other cells (so -- like an address that has
a
number 12007 becomes 127).

In smaller spreadsheets, I can simply hand-delete the "zero cells" but now
I'm starting to get spreadsheets that are over a thousand lines long and
hand-deleting is not time effective.

Thanks very much in advance!!
