How do I locate cells that contain a certain text?
 

I want to build a formula that locates the cells that CONTAIN a certain text
and either replace the WHOLE cell with something else or return a defined
result in another cell.

The first part is pretty much what autofilter does when a custom filter is
defined.

Depending on what your layout looks like, and without examples, sounds like
you want to use a combination of FIND/SEARCH, MATCH, or INDEX.

I would look in the vba help for FINDNEXT.
