    You may find it useful to use the “Text to Columns” feature, or possibly “Search & Replace”.

    Text to Columns
    Select the column in question. Under the Data tab find Text to Columns, choose this, and under Original Data Type choose Delimited. Select Next. Then under Delimiter specify Other and insert a . in the corresponding field and choose Finish.
    This will result in two columns, you can just delete the one populated with txt

    Search & Replace
    Highlight the column, or cells
    Use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+h or graphically select Home -> Find & Select -> Replace ... to bring up the Find & Replace dialog box
