Excel VBA user defined function to remove special characters from text in excel

Many times we need to remove specific character from text string in excel worksheet. We usually perform this activity as a data cleansing process before generating reports/dashboard in reporting tools like Microsoft Excel, Tibco Spotfire, Tableau, Qlikview and so on. Removing specific character from excel cells manually is a quiet time consuming task. Also, there might be a possibility to forget to miss few characters in data which is not adequate.

We can automate this task by creating a user defined function which will be used to delete specific character from the input text. We can customize a function in such a way that it will remove specific character or special character from input text.
