title: Unable to replace/delete \xa0 from a string in Python (parsing from Excel)
body: <pre><code>    from collections import Counter
      from openpyxl import load_workbook
  
      nomefile = 'SerieA18_19.xlsx'
  
      wb = load_workbook(nomefile)
      ws = wb.worksheets
      sheet = wb.active
      max_row = sheet.max_row
  
      results = []
      for i in range(1, max_row + 1):
        cell_obj = sheet.cell(i, 1).value
        cell_obj.strip()
        cell_obj.replace('\\xa0', ' ')
        if cell_obj[2:3] == '-':
           results.append(cell_obj)
        if cell_obj[3:4] == '-' and cell_obj[:1] != '(':
           results.append(cell_obj)
  
  
      results_counter = Counter()
      for response in results:
         results_counter.update(response.split(','))
  
      print(results_counter)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>OUTPUT is as follows :
          Counter({'1\xa0-\xa01': 44, '2\xa0-\xa01': 39, '1\xa0-\xa00': 35, '0\xa0-\xa00': 34, '2\xa0-  \xa00': 28, '0\xa0-\xa01':</p>
  
  <p>I am not able to delete/replace these '\xa0' that are probably coming from the Excel file</p>
