how do I remove unwanted characters within a text string.
I have parantheses appearing randomally in my results and want to remove them
from results. Is there a function which would do this. |

You substitute them with nothing, as in:
=Substitute(a1,"(","") You can nest this command if you want to do more than one character at a time: =substitute(substitute(a1,"(",""),")","") Regards, Fred "bill" wrote in message ...

Is there any chance that the ()'s mean that the results (numbers) should be
negative? Could it be a formatting change instead? bill wrote: I have parantheses appearing randomally in my results and want to remove them from results. Is there a function which would do this. -- Dave Peterson |
