I have a column of data where some data elements have an unwanted comma at
the end (i.e. period,comma,) and some do not (i.e. period,comma). I would
like to be able to remove the unwanted comma's at the end (and keep the ones
within the data element). Please help.

Thanks

Ernie

Here's one of many ways;

=IF(RIGHT(A1,1)=",",LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1),A1)

put this in the next column (like b1) then copy down, then copypaste
specialvalues to get rid of the formula but keep the results.
