Asterix, how to replace it?
HI,
Help needed for following problem; I'll have a lot of rows/colums(like 50 000) where is text and numbers. Some of those lines have Asterix (*) character, it is allways first character. How can I replace/remove that sign without doing it manually. If I use replace function, it delete all characters in that column. Thank you in advance, Kupa72 |

Asterix, how to replace it?
=IF(ISERROR(REPLACE(A2,FIND("*",A2,1),1,"")),A2,RE PLACE(A2,FIND("*",A2,1),1,"")))
Explanation: IF(ISERROR handles cases where there are no * REPLACE(with_in text,start_number,number_of_char,replacement_text) for start_number we find the * number_of_char is 1 replacement_text is nothing "" REP "Mike H" wrote: Hi, In the search box put a tilde ~ in fron of the asterix Mike "Kupa72" wrote: HI, Help needed for following problem; I'll have a lot of rows/colums(like 50 000) where is text and numbers.
