Removing Dashes in Excel
In Excel 2007 I am regularly importing information about bonds. The
import includes dashes in the CUSIP number. Is there a way to import into Excel 2007 eliminating the dashes? I will the copy and paste the information into Bloomberg and Bloomberg does not recognize the dashes. I know how to eliminate the dashes following the import. I am trying to eliminate that step as we will be doing this daily. |

Can you just import it with the dashes and then do an Edit|Replace to remove
those dashes (select the area first!)? On 03/02/2011 10:42, Robert Cooper wrote: In Excel 2007 I am regularly importing information about bonds. The import includes dashes in the CUSIP number.

I was hoping to eliminate a step because this is going to be a daily and sometimes several times a day process. Thanks. |

Removing Dashes in Excel
Try the macro recorder to import the data then remove the dashes.
Assign the macro to a button. You can probably also add the copy and paste to Bloomberg steps in the same macro.
