I have an extremely simple task to perform manually. But to change over
10,000 cells - not! Everybody knows Excel allows you to write simple VBA macros to do things like this. OK ... I'm a dummy ... I give up. I could have manually done the changes in the time I've wasted trying to create a working macro solution. I have a 47,000 + row spreadsheet with 2 columns (not column A & B). After manually selecting the current cell location, I want to start the macro. In text cells in the first column, I want to search down the column looking for the letters RCA. Case is not important. If found, I want to pause the macro to allow me to decide if what the macro has found is acceptable. If it is, I want to press the "y" key to add 47- to the front of data in the cell to the right (second column) of the found cell in the first column. For example if the second column cell contained 4862, after pressing the "y" key, the cell would contain 47-4862 and the current cell location would move left to the first column to continue searching for RCA. If it is not acceptable, I want to press the "n" key and have the macro continue searching for RCA from the current cell location down the first column. Help! Thanks. |
