Hi all,

I'm trying to write some VBA code that will allow me to evaluate cells,
find
cells that include "#" somewhere in the string and duplicate the entry and
modify the "#" to become a symbol. Here's an example.

A list of items:

Monkeys
Cinnamon
My#Number
Dogs

Would become:

Monkeys
Cinnamon
My1Number
My2Number
Dogs

I tried using the replace function, but I'm not having much luck with it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Mike
