    Re: Removing double quote on null column

    You tried using Text To Columns and delimiting the Double-quote?

    Then in the next window, you select the column in the preview window and select do not import column.

    Is that what you mean?
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    No, I just wanted to remove where the row of the column is null. For example

    Before
    1,"John",""
    2,"Rick","TX"

    After
    1,"John",
    2,"Rick","TX"

    Do you get what I am trying to do?

    Not sure I got it, but perhaps, try to do an Edit|Replace and Replace the "" with nothing (leave the Replace With field blank).
