Adetola Obembe - 30 Oct 2006 20:05 GMT
I've copied a list of English suffixes ("-able", "-ation") etc. into a row
of my Excel worksheet.
However, because the web-page table I copied them from has prefixed(!) each
suffix with the equals sign, I'm getting the error #NAME? in each cell. When
I click on the cell, I can see its contents, but not otherwise. I've tried
using the replace function, but for the result I get, for instance:

=-able+REPLACE("'='",1,1,"''")

Can you help?

Regards,

Adetola Obembe.

Try this:

Select the cells to be impacted

From the Excel main menu:
<edit><replace>
Find what: =
Replace with: (leave this blank)
Click the[Replace All] button

Does that help?

Thanks, Ron. I was using the formulaic REPLACE. The more standard one you
pointed me to did the trick!

Regards,

Adetola.
