I don't know if/why you are actually including the quotes and the * in your
replace, but try just entering the numbers alone.

Assuming formula is =A1*12

Replace what: 12

Replace with: 21

Replace.

Will now have =A1*21

Yes I have tried this: eg in "A*12*" Find *12 Replace with *21 instead of
giving me A*21 it replaces the whole cell content with just *21
