Macro to find string and remove, but leave the rest of cell conten
 
Hi All,
My Excel VBA knowledge is pretty limited, I primarly work with Access. I
need with the following. I need to create a macro that scan 1 worksheet for
any cell containing "XXXXX-changed" with XXXXX being anything a
date/string/integer etc.... I need to then remove only "-changed" and set
the cell color to Sky Blue. Can someone help me with the function or direct
me to where i might find some code I could modify?
Thanks,
Lee

Try this link, the values that you see in the macro i.e 52,39 etc are
the amount of characters you wish to remove (including spaces) have a
play around with it!
