Default More than i substitution

You can nest 64 formulas in Excel 2007, though I doubt anyone would
ever want to. The formula length limit is about 8,000 characters.

I am using the Substitute function in conjunction with the Indirect function
in a Data Validation formula. My question is about the Substitute function.
Is there a way to substitute nothing for more than one thing in a single
formula? For instance, substitute nothing for all spaces, all commas, all &
symbols, etc, all in one formula? Thanks for your time. Otto


You can nest SUBSTITUTE up to the Excel nesting limit of seven formulas (at
least through 2003; I don't know what the limit is in 2007).

For more than that, you can use VBA routines.
