How can I find an asterik "*" in a spreadsheet using ctrl+F?
I have a column of data that includes "*" asteriks and I want to eliminate
them. When I try to use ctrl+f to find and replace them with "blank" it appears it reads the "*" as a wildcard and eliminate the entire cell. How do I look specificaly for the "*"? Thanks for any help!!!!! |
