Frequently asked questions
Should I also remove commas from numbers like '1,500.00'?+
Yes if your database or import tool expects bare numbers. Add a second pair: find ',', replace with '' (on the amount column only).
Can I replace one currency symbol with another?+
Yes. Find '£', replace with '$' for currency conversion notation in reporting files.
Will this accidentally remove £ from product descriptions?+
Only the columns you select are processed. Limit the selection to the amount column to leave descriptions untouched.
