    Cool Take off characters

    Hi guys.

    I have the following problem
    I need to take off from a string all the dots that might be in.
    For Example, If I have something like B.1.2.3.4 I need to do something that gives me back B1234
    I started to do some concatenate, but the problem is that I don’t have the same lengh in every cell and I have more than 89.000 lines like that.
    Is there something that I can do to do it quickly?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Greetings

    CTRL + H

    Find . (dot)

    Replace by (leave blanc)

    Replace all
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.
