198196 2003-12-07 19:59:00 I occasionally have a cell which reads say 1= this means that the competitor has dead heated for first. It could also read 2= or 3= etc. Now, it is imported in this format and somewhat confuses my spreadsheet. What I wish to do is drop the = sign and retain the number.

Remember, this information is imported from another spreadsheet so it is quite ok to remove the = signs during importation.

Any suggestions appreciated.

198197 2003-12-07 20:05:00 You'll probably have to create a Macro to remove all the ='s, in case one occurs further down the list. somebody (208)
198198 2003-12-07 21:40:00 Yes, there are a max 0f 188 rows and 4 columns and the = sign could appear in any cell or cells.

Writing that type of macro could cause me grief. :D

198199 2003-12-07 21:44:00 How about doing a find and replace to locate all the ='s and replacing them with nothing....unless of course you have = signs that you want to keep. Barnabas (4562)
198200 2003-12-07 22:52:00 Good point,

Didn't realise you could do that so I'll investigate further.
