Finding values within text and substituting with alternate values.
Hi All,
I have a table with two columns, column A contains old values and column B contains new values. I am trying to create a program, where I paste a piece of text into a separate worksheet, which contains old values (can be randomly within the text, in any cell). I want excel the search through the text and find any old values from column A and replace them with new values, i.e. if value in A7 is found in text, then replace with its corresponding new value from B7. Also, I don't want the code to fall over when no values are found, and for it to move to the next value in the table, i.e. old value in A5 returns no match in text, so move onto old value in A6 and try to find a match. Is this possible to achieve? Any help will be much appreciated. Kind Regards, Bhupinder |
Finding values within text and substituting with alternate values
It is not as straight-forward as that.
I want to find all instances in a block of text contained in sheet 2 ,of the value in cell A1, sheet 1, and replace it with the value from cell B1 sheet 1. e.g A1 B1 xxx yyy A2 B2 aaa bbb A3 B3 ccc ddd text in sheet 2... field b0 @avg ("xxx" , DATEFIRST, DATELAST) ; field B0 b0 write xxx field b2 @avg ("ccc" , DATEFIRST, DATELAST) ; field B2 b2 write ccc text after replacements... field b0 @avg ("yyy" , DATEFIRST, DATELAST) ; field B0 b0 write yyy field b2 @avg ("ddd" , DATEFIRST, DATELAST) ; field B2 b2 write ddd If you notice, in the original text, there was no text string "aaa", so I want the code the continue throught the list and search for "ccc" without falling over as it found no instances of "aaa". Sorry if wasn't clear before.... Thank you, Bhupinder.

try this loop
Sub findreplaceloop() For Each c In Sheets("sheet7").Range("d1:d2") Sheets("sheet6").Range("f1:f4").Replace What:=c, Replacement:=c.Offset(, 1), _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False Next c End Sub -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Bhupinder Rayat" wrote in message ...
