LibreOffice Calc: How to remove a character from multiple columns
Solution 1:
Just use =right(A1,8)
and drag it down. Right will always give you the X
rightmost characters of the string and given it's consistent in this string, it will be the simplest solution.
Solution 2:
If your strings are of unequal length you can use the mid()
and len()
commands combined.
In your example the command would be:
=MID(A1,2,LEN(A1))
Drag it down as in the answer above.
How does it work?
MID
returns a sub-string of a string specified as: MID([string], [start index], [end index])
. If the [end index]
varies, using LEN(A1)
specifies the length of the particular string.
Solution 3:
The function you are looking for is the text command, SUBSTITUTE("Text"; "SearchText"; "NewText"; Occurrence)
