I have 1000s of lines of numbers in the following format: 0000-00-000-0000 and I need to remove the last hyphen so the data looks like: 0000-00-0000000. Can anyone help?

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December

Hi,

If they're All exactly in that format, B1 or C1 formula:

ABC
10000-00-000-00000000-00-00000000000-00-0000000
