How can I remove the dash in the following cell. A1 = 123-456-789 an
need to have the cell A1 as 123456789
 
Use Edit | Replace (Ctrl-H)

In "Find what" type the dash character
In "Replace with" leave it blank

Highlight all the cells (e.g., the row or column you're interested in -- if
a column, make sure you select "Options" and Search "By Columns" instead of
"By Rows") and select "Replace" (or "Replace All" if you're brave)
 
Hi dyukon. Select all the cells with data and go to Edit - Replace and
replace - with nothing. Excel is going to think you now have a 6 digit
number so format the cells as text if that is what you want. HTH
