Excell format cells
I have a column on a excel spredsheet that has about 2000 rows.
All the numbers have a dash at the begging of the numbers. How do I get rid of those dashes without doing it one by one? Thank you! |

I would enter -1 in an empty cell.
Copy that cell. Select the 2000 numbers and EditPaste SpecialMultiply. If that doesn't work, try EditReplace What: - With: nothing Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 7 May 2008 12:22:01 -0700, ft wrote: I have a column on a excel spredsheet that has about 2000 rows.
