Hi!

Try this to remove periods(or decimal points), dashes(-), spaces, and
underscores( _ )

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,". ",""),"-",""),"
",""),"_","")

I need a formula where I can remove characters such as . - space or _.
These
characters can show up anywhere in the text string. i.e.,
123-abc should be 123abc
123 abc should be 123abc

any help would be greatly appreciated,

Regards,

Robert
