    Remove characters

    Hi guys, I have a question.

    Brechin Plc+F1570
    Collingwood Plc+F4393
    Dornberg Cl+F687
    Holdenhurst Av+1402

    It should be Brechin Plc, Collingwood Plc, and so on.

    Anyone can help to remove +F...?
    I really appreciate your help, thank you.

    Can you provide a sample workbook with more records?

    For example:

    Abbotsbury Mews
    Adams Close
    Brechin Plc+F1570
    Collingwood Plc+F4393
    Naoroji Street
    Newdigate
    Shamrock Way
    Dornberg Cl+F687
    Holdenhurst Av+1402
    Beechwood Close
    Bergen Square
    Monson Road

    The other records don't have +...

    Re: Remove characters

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    I suggest that upload a small (clean) sample workbook (not a pic or copy/paste examples here) of what you are working with, and what your expected outcome would look like.

    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards
    Ford

    Re: Remove characters

    Hi, if all you want to do is remove the +...,
    1. Press CTRL+F, click the find & replace tab at the top of the window.
    2. In the FIND box, type "+*" (without the quotes).
    3. Leave the REPLACE box blank.
    4. Highlight the entire "Street" column.
    5. Click "Replace All".

    Hope this helps. Should be no need for formulas here (unless i'm misunderstanding what your trying to do)...

    Re: Remove characters

    All you need to do is put "(?)" into the FIND box and leave the REPLACE box blank again. Click REPLACE ALL and this will remove all the "(?)" from the column (remember to highlight the STREET column).
