1 quick way is using Find & Replace> Ctrl+H > Find what: / > Replace with: (leave blank) > Replace All > OK
an alternate solution is with Power Query
Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

Try this formula=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/","",1)Originally Posted by prkundan
Assuming your column is A and the data starts on Row 1, use this formula in an unused column's Row 1 and copy down to the end of your data, then copy/paste values over top of your existing data, then delete the formulas...
=REPLACE(A1,3,0,"-")
Or, if the OP's examples were not truly representative and the data could have more than two slashes in it...
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/","")&"/"
Yes, Rick, your formula is more complete. Thank you!
Formula=REPLACE(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")),0,"-")
This will put a "-" in front of the first number in a text string.
Thanks a lot! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
