how do I change all numbers to "1"
we have a massive excel spreadsheet downloaded from surveymonkey where values
in the columns range from 1 to 40 in hundreds of columns. I know how to find/replace 1 number at a time like change all 2's to 1's. Is there a quick way to change all numbers 2, 3, 4, ect to 1 with one swoop? |

One way:
1) Select all the values 2) Copy them 3) Without changing the selection, choose Edit/Paste Special, choosing the Values and DIvide radio buttons. Click OK.

Yes, this forum is great. I kind of feel bad for years of wasted effort.
What I am unable to understand is why would you download something and then convert everything to ones? How does that help? By the another way is to press F5, Click on Special, Choose Constants then press 1 and press CTRL-ENTER "belbeason" wrote: I LOVE this forum, my husband is crying at the simplicity of this solution after spending 4 years doing it one number at a time for a spreadsheet that has hundreds of columns and numbers THANK YOU!!!

One way: choose Subtract rather than Divide.
