Hello all,

Like the title here suggests, what formula will extract characters A-Z , a-z and 0-9 from a cell.

Hence omit . spaces, dots, semicolon, question-mark, exclamation marks etc.

for instance.

From
A8^Kite?
abc 450
4xsection-
action?
54
12/31/2017

To
A8Kite
abc450
4xsection
action
54
12312017



Will appreciate any help.
Thanks.
