Removing dashes from a column
 
I have a 500+ cell column with 13 digit numbers that look like this.
18-118-22-33-0011 I would like to remove all of the dashes from every cell
in the column but I can't figure out how.

Try

Edie|replace

enter - and whatever you want to replace it with, leave blank for nothing

Thanks guys! It worked but it left me with (<=99999) at the beginning of
each cell. Now what?

What do you want to do with the (<=99999)? Then we can answer your "Now
what" question.

Regads,

I think OP is wondering how it got there as much as how to deal with it.

I would also like to know.

(<=99999) was not part of the original data.
