How do I convert the second comma into a decimal point with a formula? There is a 2nd comma in my export due to something that can't be resolved, so has to be corrected manually.

Note: Export has 92 rows with good dollar values......19 rows of the 92 have this issue.

1. Can't do a find/replace because the file is filtered.
2. Can't do find/replace because there are amounts that need to keep the 1st comma......Such as $1,555.00.....my export comes across as $1,555,00.

Here is a sample of the export data:....sometimes the decimal is a : example for this is the first row below.
15:88
174,18
5,75
1,000,00
236,11
339,44
1,023,62

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Oops, I have totally missed the colon remark :oops: -- thank you Peter for catching this.

Here is a remedy:
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(--SUBSTITUTE(A1,":","."),SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","")/100)
This formula worked perfectly as well!!.

Tetra201, I'm really adding an additional reply to your corrected post. Your corrected formula did work for me.....I had to add an additioanal IFERROR to have a blank space where the results were #VALUE. That works great for me but let me know what you think.

Here is how the formula looks like now.
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(
IFERROR(--SUBSTITUTE(D41,":","."),SUBSTITUTE(D41,",","")/100),"")

but what rule did I not follow?....Let me know so I don't do going forward
I noted which rule in my post (#14) & provided a link. It includes:
... must not SHOUT (use all upper case) or use excessive amounts of punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in posts or thread titles.
