Common problems and fixes

The replacement inserted a literal $1.

Capture group substitution only applies in regex mode. Switch the rule from plain text to regex.

Numbers turned into text.

Text rules coerce their targets. Exclude numeric columns from the rule scope, or use the Number Formatter for those.

Frequently asked questions

What people say

Exactly what I needed. Text Formatter used to be a twenty-minute job with a macro I did not trust; now it takes one drag and one click.

Fast, no signup wall, no watermark. I have sent the Text Formatter link to half my department.
Clara Bergman · Office Manager ·
Handled a file with well over 200,000 rows without complaining. That is more than I can say for the desktop add-in we pay for.
