Removing parts of Data in a Cell / [], #
I have date that is copied from another program (similar to notebook) and
pasted into excel. I perform text to colums and end up with ALMOST whta I need. The problem is that two colums are not exactly right. One colum shows four digit numbers with brackets [1234]. I need to keep the number, but remove the brackets. The second column has a string of numbers with #in front #12345678. I need to keep the number string, but remove the # symbol. Thanks |
