Replace many asterisk characters, '*' in Excel

[Guest]

How do I replace a lot of asterisks, '*', in Excel XP. They are appended to
numeric data values, changing the values to text values so I can't run
fomulae on the original values. Trying "Replace *, <null> " on the
spreadsheet deletes all data.

Replace ~* with nothing

Use the following formula:
=VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"*",""))
The value function converts the resulting string to numeric.
