I have a list of values that are formatted like P1234 and have a hyperlink.

I need to have a way to format a large list to remove the hyperlink from each field and add a period after the "P" like P.1234.

It could be a macro or manual, but the list is large.

Any suggestions?

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Is there a way to remove the hyperlink from more than 1 field at a time?

Is there any way to do a global replace? like PXXXX = P.XXXX?
