    How to remove a character using Excel function
    Could anyone know if there is any Excel function that I can use to remove a certain character from a text string, e.g.

    1). Remove space from "acurve is what"
    2). Remove "-" from "acurve-is-what"
    3). Remove "'" from "acurve'is"
    And so on.

    Thanks a lot!

    Have you tried the replace function ?
    It's located in Edit > Replace or Ctrl-H.
    Just specify the character you want to remove and what, if anything, you want to change it to.

    Thanks a lot

    But you can replace a space with only a space or other character, not "remove" it... So how can I remove it?

    Thanks a lot. I figured out. It works.

    Just leave the Replace with part blank.
