    Remove hyphens and period and add number 2 to beginning of string

    I am pretty new to VBA however I am attempting to remove the hyphens and the period from 030-0008-5303.00. All numbers in the Sheet VIP E2:E column are in this format. I need to get them to read 20300008530300. As shown in the code below, I am extracting this data from Sheet1 column Z and pasting it in Sheet VIP column E2:E. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Try and use the replace function

    Here is a UDF that can be used like a formula in a cell
    =NumbersOnly(A1)

    But can also be called from a procedure, like this

    I have amended the values (removing non-numerics) after they arrived in VIP. You may prefer to do the job against column Z in sheet1
    - amend to match your requirements

    Or combining everything into one prodedure
