    Find replace queston

    Hey everyone and good morning

    I have a question i have data formatted as follows 123*456*789, and 100's of rows i would like to replace the "*" with "x" however doing standard ctrl+f and replace gives me x's in all the cells.

    Please see the attached spreadsheet.

    Thanks and have a great day.

    You can use the Convert Text to Columns Wizard in Excel and import the csv into an excel sheet and use zbor's formula. Then save back the output file as csv
