    Remove Underscores

    Hi,
    I have a spreadsheet with 1000's of 3 digit numbers and each one has a underscore in front of it.
    HOw can I remove the underscore from each of these 3 digit numbers without doing a find/replace on each different number?

    Thanks

    Dean

    U dont have to do fine and replace on each different number.

    Just do find and replace


    "In Find box type -- _(undersocre)

    and replace box -- Leave in blank

    Hi, is there a reason why you cannot use Find / Replace All ?

    Remove Underscores

    Is there a reason you can't select ALL the cells with underscores
    and use <edit><replace> to remove them?

    Example:
    A1: _123
    A2: _456
    A3: _789

    Select A1:A3
    <edit><replace>
    ...Find what: _
    ...Replace with: (leave this blank)
    Click the [replace ALL] button

    Does that help?
