How to find and replace in Excel for special characters?
I have a special character that I cannot figure out how to replace. It is a
small square that was imported into Excel from an information system and appears all over my cells. How do I get rid of it using find and replace? |
How to find and replace in Excel for special characters?
Jill Not sure you'll be able to do it using Find+Replace - it's a non-printing character. You could remove it by using worksheet function CLEAN ie: =CLEAN(A1) It might be a good idea to actually identify what type of NPC it is (most probably a carriage return or a tab or new line feed) by using the CODE function. You could then write a VBA routine to remove all such characters from your sheet.
