i have a series of part numbers in a column in xl that vary in length but
all end in "v'. I want to remove just the "v". I tried text to coulmns and
all the functions i know.
 
If the v only shows up in the last character, maybe just
select your range
edit|replace
what: v
with: leave blank
replace all

If you don't want to do that, maybe a helper column of cells:

=left(a1,len(a1)-1)
drag down
copy|paste special|values
and delete the original column
 
worked like a chram, thx,leo
