I'm exporting a list from SharePoint online that exports lookup columns and their ID which is impossible to change.


On Export, this is what it looks like:

Is there a way that I can write an Excel function to delete specific characters combinations?
I would like something similar to this `;#(Number between 1-2000)#` and `;#(Number between 1-2000)` to be deleted.

All help would be appreciated if this is possible somehow.

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
