Hey all!

I was wondering if there was a way to remove a certain character from a column of cells.

For example:

Column A has a bunch of words with the symbol "]" & "[" surrounding them.
like this - [word]

Is there a way to just remove all these brackets from the words?

Thanks!

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Easiest way - select the cells, use Find & replace (Ctrl+H) - replace "[" with "", then repeat for "]"
