Find & Replace *
I am trying to do an find and replace on the * character. The problem is that
the * character is the special character for all non blank cell contents. How do I replace just the * character... Thanks In Advance... |

You can use ~* in the find / replace dialog to replace asterisks. I've included a macro that does the same. Sub replaceasterisks Cells.Replace What:="~*", Replacement:=InputBox("Replace Asterisks with:"), LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder _ :=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False End Sub -- crispbd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crispbd's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=10880 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=320285 |
