Hi,

I have a macro and at one part of it I need it to do the following:

Input

Column C

word word word
word word
word word word word
word word
...

Output

Column F

word-word-word
word-word
word-word-word-word
word-word
...

As you see, I want to replace the spaces, " ", with "-". Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
For instance:

Code:
Columns(3).Replace " ", ""

you probably don't actually need a macro, you could use excel's find/replace inbuilt function

ctrl+h
