Here's an easy one for you clever people, how do I find and replace on a
single sheet or column? please.
D R

Highlight the data range beforehand - eg click the column identifier to
highlight a complete column. Then CTRL-H (or click Edit | Replace) and
a panel pops up to allow you to specify what to Find and what to
Replace it with. Buttons allow you to just Find, or Find next, or
Replace All etc.

Hope this helps.

Sorry I meant to say I need a macro. I can record this operation but it
doesn't specify what sheet.

If you highlight a column (say) then turn the macro recorder on while
going through the rest of the sequence, then the Find & Replace will
relate to the selection on the active sheet. If you want to do the same
Find & Replace on a different range on a different sheet then select
that range first then run your macro.

Hope this helps.

Look at Replace Method in VBA help, there is an example.
