Hi,
I have a query regarding the 'replace' tool. The best way of describing what I want to do is below (under A is what I have, under B is what I want): A B Hovis Hovis Hovis White Hovis Hovis White Standard Hovis Kingsmill Kingsmill Kingsmill White Kingsmill Kingsmill White Standard Kingsmill This goes on for a very long time (big excel sheet!). Now, I know that the replace tool available in the 'edit' function will work when I say find 'kingsmill *' and replace with 'kingsmill', but what I know Macros can do is to allow me to place a button on the excel sheet that i can press and it will replace all of the variables (e.g. hovis white to hovis, and kingsmill white top kingsmill, etc etc). This will prevent me from having to go through each variable. Therefore, I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this. I am finding it difficult as the sheet is going to be updated every week, so placing specifc ranges in a script (e.g. Range("A11").Select) will not be appropriate and it doesnt seem to work if I just put A or A1:A100). I would be grateful for any suggestions, but bear in mind I am a DIY Macros beginner who has only been looking at this for two days! If you are going to write a script, please explain it to me. Thank you, very very much! I look forward to hearing from somone, anyone...thanks Greg |
