How do I find and replace a question mark in Excel?
I have a range of cells with a single question mark ?, Y or N. I can't filter
with the question mark since Excel thinks it's a wild card. I wasn't aware of this when I set up the spreadsheet. So I would like to replace the question marks with something else, but this still presents the same problem. How can I specify that I mean a question mark and not a wild card? Thanks. |
use ~? instead and this will tell Excel to look for a ? as a ? and not as a
wildcard. -- Regards Ken.......................
