    Macro to remove multiple characters in column?

    Hello,

    I have lots of words in column in this format:

    adidas (running) shoes - size 32/34\37

    I want to remove these characters ( ) - , and replace these characters / \ with space.

    Is it hard to make macro to do this? I can do this manually but i am working with lot of text like this and with macro it will be faster.


    Thanks!

    Hi,

    There's another easy way to do that, use find and replace. Here's how:
    1. Select the entire column
    2. Press Ctrl+H
    3. Then fill-up the data required and press Replace All
    Simply hit the star button to say THANK YOU.

    I know i can use find and replace but i can't do this for all characters at once.

    The macro did the work.
