Hasty

wildcard characters

Hi.
SUBSTITUTE(I4," ("*")","")
Why this is not working? and how can i replace characters using wildcard
characters. I have a formula that returns a text: ex: D19 ( D23 ) or A1 (
B8 )
I want to replace the bracket with no character. Please Help!!! Thanks

Hi Hasty

Try
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(I4,"(",""),")"," ")," ","")

to change D19 (D23) to D19D23
