You can hilight the column, ctrl+f, ".", then delete all. These will delete
all commas in your column though which you would have to either replace the first comma or live without it. Another option is that you could insert another two columns, then in the first column enter a formula to find the second comma. In the next inserted column enter a formula to replace the comma with a blank.The formulas would look something like this: Inserted column 1 (call it column B):=FIND(",",A1,10) Inserted column 2 (call it column C):=REPLACE(A1,B1,1,"") You can then copy your second column (I call it column C) and paste special "values only" to replace Column A, then delete the inserted Column B & C. Hope this helps you get started, Good Luck.

You can then copy/paste-special *VALUES* over the original --ron |
