Replace Funtion: To replace "?"
I have a spreadsheet with a whole bunch of ? but when I do a replace ? with
blank, it actually clear everything on the worksheet. Perhaps ? is the wildcard to replace all with blank, but is there a way just to replace any cell with ? with blanks? Please help! |

Put the tilde symbol ~ in front of the ? in the Find What box.
Yes it is a wildcard symbol meaning any single character so on its own you will be replacing any character with a blank. Hope this helps.
