You usually can rely on John Walkenbach. I believe he does a VBA for
Dummies, and Power Programming books, so go to a bookshop, and look and see
if one suits.

Amit,

I think Roger will be of a mind with me in saying that I (we?) don't know
of
good training courses, but that the best way is to get a good book, and
plug
into these forums and watch the questions. Even if you don't have a
problem,
read other's questions and try some of the things. What level would you
describe yourself at?

Hi

The problem is the program is going into an interminable loop.
By the time it gets to row 4 of sheet1 (when i=4), the values have
already been changed to USD.
Searching for US, finds USD and changes it to USD and so on ad
infinitum.

I have modified Bob's code to make it look at the whole of USD, not
just
part of the value, which allows the routine to complete i=4 and move
on
through the rest of its iterations.

Public Sub ProcessData2()
Const TEST_COLUMN As String = "A" '<=== change to suit
Dim i As Long
Dim iLastRow As Long
Dim cell As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim sFirst As String, Value1 As String, value2 As String
On Error Resume Next
With Worksheets("Sheet1")

iLastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, TEST_COLUMN).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To iLastRow
Value1 = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, "A").Value
value2 = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, "B").Value

With Worksheets("Sheet2")

Set cell = Nothing
Set cell = Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange _
.Find(What:=Value1, _
Lookat:=xlWhole, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False)

If Not cell Is Nothing Then sFirst = cell.Address
Do
If Not cell Is Nothing Then
cell.Value = value2
Set cell =
Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange.FindNext(cell)
End If
Loop While Not cell Is Nothing
End With
Next i

End With

End Sub

My routine is a little longer than Bob's, as I have read the values
from
Sheet1 into Value1 and Value2, whereas Bob was doing the whole job
much
more concisely. I (being less experienced than Bob) find it easier to
do
this so I can see the values clearly when I am stepping through the
code
to see if I have got it right.

Hi

The problem is the wrapping created by the NG reader you are using
where
the line has been wrapped and is incomplete.
The line should be continuous as below

Set cell = Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange.Find(.Cells(i,
"A").Value)

Is there any formula/vb code wherein it can find above words
