I have a large (50k+records) spreadsheet I've been 'cleaning' using some
basic cell functions that look for specific strings and then remove or substitute, using mostly if(isnumber(search("String", Cell#) and things like left, right, substitute. However these are getting kind of long as the lists of words to remove/replace is getting large. At it's simplest I'd love to do something that effectively does: In This Cell If the String Contains <AnyWordsInThisTable/Row/Etc Remove that Word Even Better would be if I had a two column sheet (e.g. WordsSheet) and could do If this String Contains Any of the Words in WordSheet:ColumnA Replace with WordSheet;ColumnB Ideally in either/both cases I could specify Whole or Partial Word Any ideas appreciated, my cell formulas are getting quite clunky and hard to both create and troubleshoot! Thanks in advance! |
