Hidden Character Find Macro Help
 

I have a sheet that in Row 1 has text. Within that text, there is also a
character/s (maybe carriage return, not sure) that is messing everything up.

I need a way to automate (e.g. macro) that row only having "valid
characters." i'm not sure if i would use an ascii chart or what to weed them
out. i can only have characters 32 - 126, in an ascii chart. I can send the
sheet in question.

thanks,
mark

This is perfect! So, i'm newish to VBA, normally I would record a macro, then
go from there. I'm sure there's an easier way to this clean function to an
entire row, that in the macro, i wouldn't have to use another row. i'd
imagine just a place holder variable.

can someone (PT?) help with this as well?

thanks so much,

I think when setting a ref to .EntireRow or .EntireColumn, and going to
process each cell in the ref, need to include .Cells,

set rng = ActiveCell.EntireRow.Cells

alternatively
set rng = ActiveCell.EntireRow
For each cell in rng.Cells

Peter T
