VBA Excel 2000 - Replace

Dear Experts,

Could you please have look the attached file, basically its A column is a download from an outer system.

You can see for example in cells A4 or A20, that the download saved the quantities in such format
1.774,000
5.100,000

My target would be to replace the "." characters so getting
1774
5100

Basically I have a macro which I assume should do it, but this creates the cell values like 1774000 and 5100000 on the example

Sub SimpleReplaceInColumn()
[A:A].Replace ".", vbNullString
End Sub

Could you please advise how this code should be modified to bring the quantities according to the target? It is interesting because selecting menu Edit/Replace and Find what "." to replace with nothing, that works

thanks,

Maybe a small addition the in Regional settings if that has some effect, the Decimal symbol is ",", but on that I can not change as has fear that in other files Access import specifications would be confused.

Also attached now a picture about the problem

does everything end with ,000?

Brandon no, the download save logic seems that if the quantity is less than 1000, those are as numbers without "."

But if the quantity is greater or equal than 1000, for those the pattern is 1.000,000. So using "." for thousands, "," for decimals.

I assume your question is whether for sure all quantity has always ,000 as decimal, in this example yes but can not guarantee that in all download such would be

That works perfectly :-) You are amazing thanks very much your help.

On my machine even the 1.774,123 example brought 1774,123 which is correct
