    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

    In case those numbers where entered as text

    =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"$",""),",","")

    Here's another one...

    =--SUBSTITUTE(MID(A2,2,15),",","")

    That also converts the TEXT entry to a numeric value.
