remove punctuation from address
I need help removing commas, periods, parenthesis, dashes, etc from an
address file a customer supplied to me. Below is one row for example. In order to dump the address file into our system, I need to remove the punctuation. Is there a formula that will do this for me? The Name, Company and address are each in a different cell. Ed Olsen, Sr Seattle Mill & Industrial Supply 3223-A 164th St. SW -- Thanks, Mary |

Mary
you'll need to add a column and then input the formula: =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBST ITUTE(A1,",",""),".",""),"-",""),"(",""),")","") Assuming your data starts in cell A1. Just drag down or AutoFill. Once you have the data, Copy and Paste Special | Values over the original. Import the cleaned up data into your system. Regards Trevor "Mary" wrote in message ...

remove punctuation from address
You may want to just do a series of edit|Replaces to remove whatever you
consider punctuation. Select the range edit|Replace what: , (comma) with: (leave blank or a space character????) replace all And just keep doing this for each of your characters to remove.
