People who often use Office know that Excel has a find and replace function, which can batch delete or replace the same character in a table. But when we have many Excel files that need to batch delete a certain character, obviously we can't find and replace them one by one, as this would be too inefficient. Below, I'll teach you a simple and efficient method that can batch delete specified text content in multiple Excel files with one click.
Scenarios for Deleting the Same Character from Many Excel Files
1. If each Excel file contains redundant characters or symbols, they need to be removed uniformly. For example, if the price in each data table is followed by symbols like "元、美元" or "￥、＄", they need to be removed in batch. This makes the data more concise and intuitive, and also more convenient for calculations.
2. When we need to merge several Excel spreadsheets, if the content format in the tables is not unified, we need to delete certain text in batch to standardize the content format. For example, if the first column of each file is "样品名称_01、样品名称_02、样品名称_03", we need to delete the suffix in batch.

3. Set the processing scope to cell text; set the cell data type to text. Other option settings can be selected according to your needs. Choose exact text search, and fill in the text content to be deleted in the left list; if the right side is left blank, it means deletion.
4. After processing is complete, directly click Save Location to view. All specified text in the Excel spreadsheets has been completely deleted.
What Are the Advantages of Using This Tool?
Ordinary find and replace can only delete or replace content within a single file. If there are many files, you have to operate manually or process them through VBA macros. However, for ordinary office workers, VBA is too difficult, and it is very easy to make mistakes if you don't understand the code. Using a professional batch processing tool, not only can it process thousands of files at once, but the operation is simple, allowing even beginners to easily solve the problem of batch text replacement.
