    hello

    I have a column containg a list of names. The surname is separated from the forename by a comma and a space (eg. Smith, John). Is there a way to quickly remove the commas from within the cells in the column?

    TIA

      Hi Rob,

      Good to see you online!

      Select the column.
      Select Edit | Replace…
      Enter a comma in the Find what box, and make sure that the Replace with box is empty.
      Click Replace All.

        Hi Hans

        Nice to be back.

        Thanks. It works a treat, of course. I did know this method but I suffered a mental block.
