How would I take out dashes that appear in a list of numbers for example:

105-62365-63-23
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
Are the amount of dashes constant? And is the data format always the same (ie ###-#####-##-##)?

If these are strings, then you could do an Edit/Replace replacing - with nothing. If you want to do this with formulae ( alongside the list ), you could do something like

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","")

and copy this down to get results without the "-".
