Default macro to change multiple values in a column

Hi MrWawa,

I am wondering if anyone knows a way to change a list of values in a
column with either an Excel function or a macro. The column is in text
format and I have a list of text strings that I want to revise


As Franz indicates, you would need to provide substantially more information
to enable a respondent meaningfully to assist you.

I can do it by filtering, but I may need to do the same process later.
This
seems like a job for a macro, but am a novice at using them.


Try turning on the macro recorder while you perform the necessary operations
manually.

This will produce code which can be edited to enable more generic
application. If you experience problems in adapting the recorder code, post
back with the problematic code.

As you are not familiar with macros, you may wish to visit David McRitchie's
