Difficulty cleaning some char(63) characters
Hi,
I am having two strings with different first characters. One looks looks like a pair of "L"s and the other a solid vertical block. Both these characters are at the beginning of the string. When the code function is run both return the value 63. However, when I run substitute(a1,char(63),"") the character is not subsituted with "". Char(63) incidentally looks like a question mark.. How do I clean these characters which return char(63) but do not respond to the substitute function on them? Thanks in advance for all the help. Regards, Raj |
Difficulty cleaning some char(63) characters
Raj,
They might be extended ascii characters, if you are copying from, say, a website. Could you just use =MID(A1,2,len(A1)) HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Raj" wrote in message ...
