ASAP Utilities  › Text  ›  15. Remove Accents from Letters (e.g., é → e, ñ → n)...

This tool replaces accented letters and special alphabet characters in your selected cells with their plain, unaccented versions. It works on uppercase and lowercase letters, including accented vowels and consonants, characters with diacritics (such as dots, tilde, grave, acute, and circumflex accents), and special Greek variants. The tool replaces them with standard A-Z characters while preserving the correct letter case. For example:
  • "é" becomes "e"
  • "ñ" becomes "n"
  • "Ä" becomes "A"
  • "áàâãåā" all become "a"
  • "Ç" becomes "C"
  • "ü" becomes "u"
  • "ὠ" becomes "ω" You can:
  • Review and customize the replacement table if needed.
  • Reset to the default replacements anytime.
  • Process plain values and formulas. This is helpful when:
  • Standardizing text from different languages.
  • Cleaning up imported data.
  • Removing accents to improve sorting, filtering, or compatibility with systems that only support basic ASCII characters. Your last used settings are remembered automatically.
