In your 'Find what' dialog, preceed the asterisk with a tilde (~).
ex. - ~* This is located above the Tab key. HTH, Paul -- "Anthony" wrote in message ... Is there anyway using find and replace if I have a number and then an *. Example 5* How can I replace the '*' from the field so that the formula MAX will work. Any way please. Thanks |

caractere is text? Any-way... I will not forget this trick! -- Yanick "PCLIVE" wrote: In your 'Find what' dialog, preceed the asterisk with a tilde (~). ex. - ~* This is located above the Tab key.

It basically tells Excel that the next character is a literal. This can be
used for an asterisk (*), a question mark (?), or even another tilde (~). When trying to find a tilde (~), you would actually find (~~). It's kind of a cool thing to know.
