    =IFERROR(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2,".",""),"-",""),"/","")+0,"") try this in case your data is numeric, if non numeric then remove 0

    Re: Special char in my data creating problem

    I understood your formula but sir kindly teach me +0 has been used for what purpose

    and will this take care that after replacing the specail characters it provides value of that in number without decimal point

    (in formatting i will take care)

    Rohan, whenever you apply this formula numeric values will get converted to text so convert them back to numeric values.

    If this helps click" * " and mark thread as colved
