Default Do you know any formula to delete accents?

Say you have text in column A and want each occurance of:
ó
with
o

In B1 enter:

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(243),CHAR(111))
and copy down

Then copy column B and paste/special/values back onto column A

You must repeat the above for each letter of the alphabet whose accent you
want to remove.

It might be easier with a macro.
