Default replace "," with a "."

I have over 900 columns and they were sent to me from an associate. I need to
make 201,354,231 into 201.354 and so on. Remember I have a whole column of
these. Is there a way to simplify this process?

Default replace "," with a "."

Type 1,000,000 into a spare cell and copy it

Select all the numbers to change
Goto EditPasteSpecial and select Values
OK

Format the cells to required format.

clear the spare cell.

Did you mean Paste Special/ Divide (rather than Values), Bob?
