Thanks for idea,
but I didn't actually understand how to start routine in Excel
as function process. Or this will be possible only with VBA?

For example how I do NEXT function?

Thanks again,

something like - untested

for each c in selection
if c=c.offset(,1)then c=c.offset(,2)
next

Hi All!



Here is some Help asked, since I'm not familiar with Excel programming,
I
can't find an Answer for my problem.



Here is the Problem:



I need to replace come words in 1st.Cell with words from another
3rd.Cell
if
Content of the 1.st.Cell and the 2nd.Cells matches.



Main problem is the Volume 25.000 Strings ? 15 Rows.



As I understand the algorithm for this operation it may look like this:

Get Ai Value

Get Bj Value

Compare Ai and Bj values for equality

If true then get Cj Value and put to Ai Value; Next Ai (Ai++)

If false then get next Bj (Bj++)



Example:



Before replacement

A B C


1 RED RED R

2 BLUE BLUE B

3 BLUE

4 RED

5 BLUE

after replacement

A B C


1 R RED R

2 B BLUE B

3 B

4 R

5 B



Thanks if there might be some ideas or help,
