Hey,
Sorry i wasn't able to think of a better Title,and also i hope its the right section to post my question.
Anyway,
In my excel file,all of my cells contains a specific char ";" i want to delete this and whatever follows it.
for example:
abcde;1234959009
i want to delete ";1234959009"
I can not use replace because whatever follows that ";" Char is always different,
but i am wondering if theres a way to program that,
Hope you guys can help,
Thanks

Hi jfish,

You can use Edit > Replace by putting ;* in the Find What listbox, nothing in the Replace With listbox and then pressing OK.

Find/Replace is the easiest and simplest way. However, if you really wanted VBA for some reason:
