I have 20,000 lines of parts with all sorts of characters like ()@.#%& in them. I need a column next to it showing each cell's "short" equivalent which has all of these stripped.
Thus "03(1.0)7FLZ-SM1-TB" needs to be 03107FLZSM1TB
any ideas other than making multiple columns, each with:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","")
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"(","")
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-")"")
.
.
.
and then use the final? Is there a way to put them all into one formula?
Thanks!
