How to remove a second and/or third comma

[woutv]

Hello

I have a big data file in excel with some 'weird' numbers
for example:

4959,68,4611,9

<tbody>
</tbody>

Sometimes it's like this: 7500,7152,22
How can i remove the last commas so that only the first comma will stay?

Thanks in advance
Regards
Wout

Hey,

try this:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","",2),",","",2)

Where A1 contains the number

You can get Excel to open a data file as comma delimited or the following may help https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel...-multiple-rows.html?highlight=comma+delimited

If you have 1,2,3, 4 or more commas:

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","|",1),",",""), "|",",")

Ok it did work, just had to adapt some , in your formula to ;

Thank you very much!

Nice solution! Works very well for multiple commas, the only concern is if the text in question actually uses the pipe character "|" - if so then there will be commas added for every pipe. I am sure that this isn't a problem but just noting it as it's interesting.

You're right, I used a little common character, but it can happen, to round it off, it could be a character combination: "@|" or something like that.
Thanks for the observation

Hi actually it was the formula from @tyija1995 that helped me.
