Cool...Better to specify text comparison so as to replace upper and lower
case X. ('X' and 'x')
r.Formula = "=" & Replace(r.Value, "x", "*",1,,vbTextCompare)

Select the cells you want to convert and run this small macro:
Sub formulator()
For Each r In Selection
r.Formula = "=" & Replace(r.Value, "x", "*")
Next
End Sub
Macros are very easy to install and use:
1. ALT-F11 brings up the VBE window
2. ALT-I
ALT-M opens a fresh module
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window
If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
To remove the macro:
1. bring up the VBE window as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
To use the macro from Excel:
1. ALT-F8
2. Select the macro
3. Touch RUN
