How can I use substitute to replace not only one but multiple letters?
For eg: -0.-9 I want to get 09 only.
Hi,
Try something like this.
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(Text@row; "-"; ""); "."; "")
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(Text@row, "-", ""), ".", "")
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
Have a fantastic weekend!

I have found the easiest way to nest SUBSTITUTE functions is to build out from the middle instead of trying to work from left to right.
To remove the "-", you would use
=SUBSTITUTE(Text@row, "-", "")
.
To remove the "."
=SUBSTITUTE(Text@row, ".", "")
To nest them, just drop one of the SUBSTITUTE formulas into the Text@row portion of the other.
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(Text@row, ".", ""), "-", "")
If you then wanted to remove a "?"
=SUBSTITUTE(Text@row, "?", "")
and then just drop that into the Text@row portion again just like the last one.
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(Text@row, "?", ""), ".", ""), "-", "")
Thank you Guys.
Happy to help!
Let us know how it goes!

In other words, if I saved $1200 annually and the project ended in say March, then the savings would go $120 per month, Mar 2025-Feb 2026. I have done it on Excel sheets manually, but I think there should be a way to do it with…
Hello team! Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season. I am trying to set up an automation that will send an email reminder one time when Next Update Date = 60 days, then another automation at 30d, etc. The key is I only want it to send the reminder one time when Next Update threshold is reached. Is this possible?…
Has anyone found a workaround for sharing Smartsheet reports externally without giving access to internal data? I currently have to download the data and transfer it onto excel to create a pivot table for our client and I want to find an easier way to do so. I also already create a dashboard for our client, but I wanted…
