question about find/replace

Copper Contributor

I want to know if i can find and clear variable text.

I have displayed a very small spreadsheet (the real one is huge) and the text I want to delete in the cells is "PURCHASE AUTHORIZED ON XX/XX but don't know how.

Can I get some help on this?

Thanks,

Patriotrod

Select the range.

Press Ctrl+H to activate the Replace dialog.

In the 'Find what' box, enter

 

PURCHASE AUTHORIZED ON ??/??

 

Leave the 'Replace with' box empty.

Click 'Replace All'.

This is how I set it up
