I want to get rid of special characters from A1. But I want it to be
replaced with space so there are 2 or 3 words:

A1

TESTchar(27)TEST1char(7)TEST2

After clean it should look like this

TEST TEST1 TEST2

Thanks.

if it's just char(27) and char(7):
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(27)," "),CHAR(7)," ")

And if there's a chance that those characters will be doubled up:
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(27)," "),CHAR(7)," "))
