How to find/replace data in column
 
Hi,

In Excel I have a column of 0's as text and I want to change the whole
column to 1 but still as text.

How can I do this?

I tried a find/replace, but the 1 was entered as a number not as text.

Thanks
Rock

After you change them to 1's highlight the cells | Format | Cell | Number tab
| Category: Text | OK

That won't actually change the values to text. Changing the format won't affect
the values.
