    Using Replace to remove the number 100 from a formula, leaving a blank

    At the moment I have a number of cells where a previous user has multiplied by 100 already, and leaving the cell in number format.

    I want to put the cell in the % format.

    But of course doing this multiplies the cells value by 100.

    So how can I remove the *100 part of the existing formulas in the cells, and replace it with a blank.

    Whenever I used Find Replace, replacing with nothing, it deletes the whole cell! thanks

    hi davidx. so you mean you have cells like
    =A1*100
    =B1*100

    and you want to remove the *100?
    Find:
    ~*100
    Replace:


    so find ~*100 & replace with nothing. if you simply put the asterisk, it acts as a wildcard. the tilde sign is to take the next character as it is

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.
