Default delete commas in spreadsheet but not in formulas

Select the range to fix.
Edit|Goto|special|check Constants
(and uncheck Numbers, Logicals, Errors????)

Now your original selection has been reduced to just the cells with constants.

Edit|replace
what: , (comma)
with: (leave blank)
replace all

Be aware that if you have a string like:
12,32341,1,23,12

it'll come out as a number (not text)

And if your string is:
12,32341,1,23,12,111111111111111111,1111111111

Your string will be converted to a number with only 15 significant digits.
