Tabs in a cell
 

Hi,

I have a large spreadsheet which contains a column of descriptions. These
have various tabs in them. I need to convert this to a tab delimited txt file
but I think the tabs in the description is messing the final copy up.

My question is, does anyone know how to remove all the tabs from a range of
cells?

Tabs in a cell
 

I tried it just now, and tabs-delimited date pastes into individual cells in
Excel, I don't think there is anything else to do. If your scenario is
different somehow, try Data Text to Columns Delimited Next, then choose
your delimitation criteria. You can check the 'other' box and choose some
other criteria to delimit by.

Hope that helps.

Tabs in a cell
 

In Word, copy a tab (because it moves to a different cell in Excel, or new
tab stop, etc) and in Excel, run a Find & Replace. Under "Find What" paste
the tab, and under "Replace With" leave it blank. If you are not worried
about losing any tabs elsewhere in your sheet, click "Replace All." You
should then be able to get a tab-delimited file.
