This is better than everything. Thanks allot!
The problem is that the macro is changing everything in sheet1 (active
sheet). I need this last code, but to change text only in L column (L:L).
Can this be done?
Thanks!

Try the below..In the below example find and replace texts are mentioned in
Sheet3 in the same workbook and the range is A1:B10. Adjust to suit

Dim intTemp As Integer, arrFindReplace As Variant
arrFindReplace = Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A1:B10")

For intTemp = 1 To UBound(arrFindReplace)
If Trim(arrFindReplace(intTemp, 1)) < "" Then
Cells.Replace What:=arrFindReplace(intTemp, 1), _
Replacement:= arrFindReplace(intTemp, 2), _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows
End If
Next

It's working. Thanks!
But i have so many entries i have to change, not just these three examples.
And it wiould become confusing. Can i do something like this?

arrFind = Array("Atlanta", "New York" , "Denver")
arrReplace = Array("Jim")

arrFind = Array("Las Vegas", "Detroit", "Washington ")
arrReplace = Array("John")

arrFind = Array("Chicago", "Ohio", "Los Angeles ")
arrReplace = Array("Mary")

And i need the macro to replace only in Column L range (L:L)
Can this be done?
Thanks!

You can add those conditions to the below two arrays...like below and then
use the same macro...

Atlanta; New York; Denver to Jim
Las Vegas, Detroit; Washington to John
Chicago; Ohio, Los Angeles to Mary

arrFind = Array("Atlanta", "New York" , "Denver", "Las Vegas", "Chicago")
arrReplace = Array("Jim", "Jim","Jim", "John", "Mary")

Hi, my first post was a little bit wrong.
I need to change a few cities with a name:

Atlanta; New York; Denver to Jim
Las Vegas, Detroit; Washington to John
Chicago; Ohio, Los Angeles to Mary

Sorry for my first post.
Can this be done?
Thanks!

Try the below...

Sub Macro1()

Dim intTemp As Integer
Dim arrFind As Variant, arrReplace As Variant

arrFind = Array("Jim", "John", "Mary")
arrReplace = Array("Atlanta", "Las Vegas", "Chicago")

For intTemp = 0 To UBound(arrFind)
Cells.Replace What:=arrFind(intTemp), _
Replacement:=arrReplace(intTemp), _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows
Next

End Sub

;If you are looking for strings within the cell replace xlWhole with xlPart
