How do I remove a character from a column of data in Excel

Question

I am formatting some data I received. I have several hundred names of students in Column A, and for some strange reason there is a random * placed randomly through

Answer 1

You don't need to loop through the cell. You can use Excel's inbuilt .Replace function to replace all * by using "~*"

Here is an example

Option Explicit

Sub Sample()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim Rng As Range

    '~~> Change this to the relevant worksheet
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")

    '~~> Change this to the relevant range
    Set Rng = ws.Range("A2:A300")

    Rng.Replace What:="~*", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder _
    :=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
End Sub
