I have 1000s of lines of numbers in the following format: 0000-00-000-0000 and I need to remove the last hyphen so the data looks like: 0000-00-0000000. Can anyone help?

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.

Hi,

If they're All exactly in that format, B1 or C1 formula:


Book1
ABC
10000-00-000-00000000-00-00000000000-00-0000000

B1=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","",3)
C1=REPLACE(A1,12,1,"")
