Replacing the formula text's substring
Hi.
My apologies for the cross-post, original was mistakenly placed into an italian-speaking group (I thought "it" stood for IT, turned out to be a locale name). Can someone post a VBA snippet for Excel 2007 that replaces the requested substring in formulas with the provided string value. The point is that if on a sheet I have a great number of cells where the formula says"=july!whatever", referring to a sheet in another workbook, and I make a copy of it for august, I don't want to hand- edit these formulas. I want to run a macro that will request what to replace (in this case "july") with what ("august"), so that the result is "=august!whatever". I attempted the following: ============================================== Sub ChangeFormulas() Dim str1 As String Dim str2 As String Dim cur As Range Dim result As Boolean str1 = InputBox("Enter original string") str2 = InputBox("Enter replacement string") Application.ScreenUpdating = False For Each cur In ThisBook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCell TypeFormulas) result = cur.Replace(str1, str2) If result = False Then MsgBox ("Not changed") End If Next End Sub ================================================== == The message box never fires, but the replacement doesn't occur, all formulas stay intact. What am I doing wrong? |
