"Replace all" changes formatting
I have formatted a column to text. Currently in the column is a list copy
and pasted from MAS 500. Contents of each cell look something like this: SO-0000001016. With the column formatted as text, I did Edit/Replace, replacing SO- with nothing, intending to remove simply the SO- and leave the six zeros. However, it wipes out the six zeros, as well, leaving simply 1016. If I manually remove SO- on every number, the six zeros remain. What gives? |
