Find & replace in one column
Hi
I want to change the following part numbers in column 'A' using Find/Replace. R2700 should now be R2500 B3200 should now be B3000 When I run it though it changes numbers in other columns which I dont want. Any suggestions? -- TIA Pete XP SP2, XL 2003 |

Find & replace in one column
You should highlight column A first, by clicking on the letter A at
the top of the column. Then when you do CTRL-H (Find & Replace) it will only operate on the highlighted range. Hope this helps.
