I receive some files extracted from a corporate system. A couple of the
extracted data fields are rich text that use html code, and those who provide me the data don't have any way to "turn off" the codes before they do the extract. Once I get the data into Excel (2003) I can remove all the codes using Find/Replace with a wildcard: <*. Since all the codes are always in angle brackets, this essentially removes any instance, no matter what the included codes. The only glitch is that some of the cells are very long, causing that "Formula is too long" error. I saw somewhere a macro I could use instead of running Find/Replace, but if that's the best way around the problem, can anyone tell me how to replicate a wildcard in the macro? The macro was going to replace a specific term, "$$$$$", with nothing. Now I need a wildcard so the macro will find and replace anything contained within angle brackets. TIA |
