remove Acute Accent character '00B4'
Excell 2003, XP Pro. A user downloaded data from the internet that uses the Acute Accent character instead of a standard single quotation mark. Sometimes. They are mixed in with the single quote and make sorting the data & matching it to a master database nearly impossible. How to I write a vb routine to find and remove these things? Thanks, Mike |

Thanks, Do you need a VB routine? A replace all could do it. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

Hi,
0. Copy one of the accents 1. Select all the sheets (Shift click the sheet tabs) 2. Press Ctrl+H 3. In the Find what box press Ctrl+V 4. In the Replace with box enter a regular quote 5. Click Replace all. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Mike Molyneaux" wrote: Excell 2003, XP Pro.
