Hello,

I have a couple of columns that seem to have UNCHAR (62) in them. The ? symbol. I am trying to remove them. I tried to find and replace but it removed the entire cell.

Here is an example of what I am trying to fix:
Arrow Rivet, ?.312 Hole, ?.219 Panel Thk

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
I should say that in the original Excel document the character was hidden. It only showed up when I converted it to a CSV document.
This is how it looks in the XLS document
Arrow Rivet, .312 Hole, .219 Panel Thk

Hi,

Try, when you do your Find and Replace...

Find what, add the Tilde character in front of ?, ~?

Replace with, leave blank
