Default how do I use macro to find and replace unicode characters

Hey Rick,

Well, you were right..it works. Yippee Like I said, I'm not a coder, so I
don't know how (wish I did, I do like to follow the logic). Just two issues
remain, the first I think you can fix, hopefully the second. The values .75
and .25 are switched when replaced in the spreadsheet. The .50 is replaced
correctly.

The second issue is that the replaced values include a zero before the
decimal point, i.e., the replacement values are 0.25, 0.50, 0.75. Many of
the cells already contain a whole number, so for example, 8 becomes 80.50
instead of the desired 8.50.

Thanks for your effort, I really do appreciate it.

the macro recorder gave you... delete it and copy/paste my macro in its
place. Oh, and change the sheet name I used (Sheet6) in the With statement
to the name of the worksheet where your data at... then, just run the macro
and it should replace the three symbols you showed me (, and ) with the
numbers .25, .5 and .75 wherever they appear on the worksheet.
