How to remove?

Hi,

 

I want to remove this square from this column. I do have other data formatted this way in this column (DFRSSETD123, 192.000.121.1, etc) but I can't seem to remove this character.

@rmartinez4 try the TrimLeft(String,y) function where you need to specify the character you wanted to remove in place of y

Odd. The squared in front does not show up as a character.

Try a REGEX tool like this.

@rmartinez4 Also removes the pesky black diamond with question mark if you ever get them.
