I export two Access tables to Excel all the fields are Y or N.
Table #1 is in text format Table #2 is in number format When exported to Excel Table #1 remains text - Y or N But Table #2 changed to 1 or 2 Help-I need to change Tabel #2 to Text (Y/N) so I can merge (copy/paste) the data into one... Just changing the format of the cell in Excel does not change it to text. |

Well, I guess that you are doing the exporting manually and not through
VBA, right? Then select your entire table 2. Clcik on 'Edit' Menu and Select 'Replace' In Find What: enter 1 In Replace With: Y Click on Options and check 'Match entire cell contents'. Click on Replace All. Repeat for 2 to be replace by N Sharad *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it! |

Wow, I did not now this was available.
One question, I don't have a "options" ( Click on Options and check 'Match entire cell contents'.) I'm using Excel 2000. I just skipped to replace all..

There should be a button with "options " or "<< Options" on it (bottom right
corner of the dialog). If you click on it, it either shows more options or hides those options. Dan @BCBS wrote: Wow, I did not now this was available.
