You didn't SAY so. Just take out the if

Sub ReplaceIfChecked() 'SalesAidSoftware
With Sheets("List")
lr = .Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row

For Each c In .Range("a2:a" & lr)
Sheets("Top20").Columns(1).Replace c, c.Offset(, 1)
Sheets("TopIndustry").Columns(2).Replace c, c.Offset(, 1)
Next c

Thank you very much Don!! Great stuff. However, I wanted the computer to
figure it out, not the person. Nevertheless, the 'x' is very cool.

Patrick, this line is red:
FindReplace() cell.Value, cell.Offset(,1).Value

What do I need to change it to, to get it working?

Thanks again,
Ryan---

sub main simply scans column A .. each name is to be replaced by the name

column B for any row

Sub Main
dim cell as range
for each cell in worksheets("List of names to

FindReplace() cell.Value, cell.Offset(,1).Value
end if
next
End Sub

Sub FindReplace(FindName as string, replacename as string)

ActiveSheet.Columns("A:B").Replace What:=findname, _
Replacement:=replacename, LookAt:=xlPart,
SearchOrder:= _
xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False,
ReplaceFormat:=False


End Sub

However, the list of What:="" names will change frequently. This past
week
there were 10 names; next week there may be many more. All names are
listed
on a Sheet named €˜List of names to change (1 sheet). Basically, I am
trying
to come up with a way of activating the Sheet named €˜List of names to
change, selecting the variables (actually text/names, in column A) and
then
replacing the variables (actually text/names, in column B€¦the same row
as
Column A). By the way, all name replacements (all names will be in
Column
A
or Column B) will happen in sheets named €˜top 20 - AFTER or €˜top
Industry -
AFTER (2 sheets). The names originally come from sheets named €˜top
20 -
BEFORE and €˜top Industry - BEFORE.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks so much,
Ryan---
