how to remove a currency symbol in a cell?

hi all,

I have a column with prices. Each cell has values like $1,345.45 , i need to get rid of the $ and have the number written without "," -->1345.45 how do I do this? I've googled around but haven't found anything.

thank you!

change number formatting to "general" or "number" to remove the currency and comma

thanks but that's the first thing I tried... no it doesn't work

awesome, it worked thanks!
