replace ' in cells
I have a spreadsheet where all the fields (except those with numbers) have a
' before the data in the cell. The ' does not show up in the cell, but only in the formula line. CTRL+H does not work, nor does it work using the ~ with the ' (either before or after the ' character). I need to remove this character in order for my formulas to work. The spreadsheet has over 10K rows and 170 columns. Thank you, Susie |

1.. In an empty cell on the worksheet, type the value 1.
2.. Select the cell that contains the value 1, and click Copy on the Edit menu. 3.. Select the cells that contain the text that you want to replace, and then click Paste Special on the Edit menu. 4.. Under Paste, click Values. Under Operation, click Multiply, and then click OK. Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "Suz771" wrote in message ...

Did you try to press ONLY ONCE the key combination CTRL and ~ ?
[try to press and HOLD the CTRL key and then press on the ~ key [located at the far left of the horizontal numeric keys].

If you change the alignment to center or right do the ' change to ^ or "
Turn off Transition Options. What type of formulas are you using that care about the ' in cells without numbers?

Use this code;
Sub RemoveIt() With ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConst ants, xlTextValues) .Value = .Value End With End Sub -- Regards Dave Hawley www.ozgrid.com "Suz771" wrote in message ...
