    What if I have a list of American numbers, Chinese numbers, Japanese numbers, etc. that all need their respective country codes fixed? Could you do another video demonstrating that?

    Hi. You could try using Flash Fill for this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kWyAk7h6qLfAfrg.html or kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4GNyZWqac61irg.html You could also try Find and Replace. You would repeat the Find & Replace for each type of character you want to remove (once for the open parentheses, the close parentheses, and the space) and don't type anything in the "Replace" box: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6KWw62Gp929cZs.html Perhaps Text to Columns (although this might be a little more cumbersome). You could split the columns wherever there is a space or a parentheses, then use CONCAT or CONCATENATE to join only the portions you want. Text to Columns: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kWWJz9CEk8iTptY.html CONCAT, CONCATENATE: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqutqcyqeJu1hLQ.html Hope one of these works for you and thank you for stopping by!
