Hi!

1. You can use Edit/Replace but I prefer to use a helper
column and a formula like this:

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","")

Copy down as needed then select all those formulas and do
a Copy/Paste Special/Values. Then delete the original list.

2. Select the range of dates and format as mmddyyyy.

I have 2 questions related to formatting information that

I have imported:

1)If I have a coumn that conatins amounts such as

0000000427.99 and I want
to remove the decimal but keep the trailing cents, wat is

the best way to do
that for a whole column? example: 000000042799

2) I also have a date that has been imported as 3/9/2005

and I need to
remove the "/"'s and have the month and date format with

zeros if needed such
as 03092005, what is the best way to accomplish this on a

column.

Thank you,

Rick
