Excel 2010 :: Find And Replace Within Specific Column?
Oct 1, 2012
I have an excel workbook where some sheets have a column called "Name" in Row 3. The column where "Name" appears shifts based upon other criteria so it's not set within 1 specific column.
The real data for the "Name" column starts in Row 5. Is it possible to create a macro that looks in Row 3 for "Name", then once it finds that column, it does a find and replace from Row 5 to the end of the data and replaces every space with a ^.
For example, if I have:
Row 3 Name
Row 4
Row 5 John Smith
Row 6 Jane Doe
Row 7 John Doe
Row 8 Jane Smith
I'd like the data to become:
Row 3 Name
Row 4
Row 5 John^Smith
Row 6 Jane^Doe
Row 7 John^Doe
Row 8 Jane^Smith
I'm using Excel 2010 if that impacts anything.

I have Excel 2010, and a dual monitor setup, with the left monitor being the main one. I have my spreadsheets on the right monitor.
When I open a Find and Replace, the dialog box always goes to monitor #1 (left); I want it on monitor #2.
Is there a way to default it to the "right" monitor?

I have two sheets. One is named sheet1 where all my data is and sheet2 where all my values are. I want to do a find a replace on column N (sheet1) using the data in sheet2. Column A on Sheet2 has all the values that are found in column N and column B on Sheet2 has what the data should change to.
So for example:
Sheet1 says the following on column N:
cat
dog
lion
bear
Sheet2 says:
Column A
A1: Cat
A2: Dog
A3: Bear
Column B
B1: 2
B2: 8
B3:15
I want the values on column N to be replaced with 2, 8, 15 and so forth. I use excel 2010.

Is there a way to differentiate the number of unique and duplicate entries (considering multiple criterias) using a formula.
I am finding it hard to describe the request hence i have attached a spreadsheet for reference.
The first tab contains the data where I want the result in 'column J'
The second tab contains the metrics of how to calculate the result.
I am sure this will be difficult to understand at first hence feel free to ask as many questions you would like to [only related to the subject ]
For the record, I use Excel 2007 & 2010.

I have tried and been searching but cannot find the answer. Is it possible to change the row height and column width for only a selected range in my spread sheet, for example, F13:I23? I am using Excel 2010.

I'm looking for one function for each of these properties that will provide them with negligible overhead in all or almost all spreadsheet data cases, such as the normal spreadsheets, autofiltered data, large workbooks, etc.
By the way, by "first row", I mean the first row after the header row, given that the header row is in row 1.

This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.

I have a wookbook with serial numbers in column A and barcodes in column B. There are 51940 rows in total.
Is there a way I can search through column A, and for each unique value found , concatenate all of the barcodes that relate to that serial number in column C?
Serial Numbers | Barcodes | Combined Values

Why my code is not working. I am working with Excel 2010. It will only delete the column on the active spreadsheet and not go to next worksheet. Not all worksheets contain the word "Broker".
[Code] ......
Not sure if its something to do with Activecell, try After:=ws.cells(1,1) or passing it in as the active cell stays the same i think.

I have a single work book with 8 sheets (I am using Excel 2010 BTW) and I am trying to find a total of times a word appears across all the sheets in column "C"
I found this formula on another thread. =SUM(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Sheet"&{1,2,3}&"!C1:C1000"),"="&H3)) with an example. I made the changes that I needed for my purposes
This worked but only after I renamed the sheets to Sheet1, Sheet2, etc.
Is there a way get the same results from the above formula if all the sheets are named after our reps? Example: sheet1 is named Dan, Sheet2 is Nick, etc?

I have a column of references I wish to standardize. Contained within a general text description there is also an order-specific reference number, which is not relevant for my purposes. I wish to find all of these numbers and replace them with nothing (i.e. retain the rest of the description).
The reference numbers are always in the format "P#####/##". Unfortunately these references are in the middle of the text field, not at the start or end, so I can't use a LEFT or RIGHT formula to delete them.
Once these reference numbers have been deleted I will then be able to filter for unique records only. When I do this at the moment the filtering has no effect due to these specific reference numbers.

I need a macro that will look for a specific text string in the tab names of the workbook and replace it with a new specified text string (leaving the rest of the existing tab names). In other words, a simple find/replace but applied to all tab names in the workbook rather than cells. Ideally, I'd like it to pop up something and ask for the text to find and the text to replace it with, so I don't have to edit the macro itself each time I want to use it, but editing the macro each time is fine. Either way will be wonderful.

I have taken over this spreadsheet for my work, and it is basically a statement in excel. What I want to do is find a list of invoice numbers in column B populated from a remittance, and then replace column F to say a specific thing depending on check number and date paying for that invoice. So if a check printed today I would have it replace column f to say paid 1/31/13 check # xxxxx. Currently I am searching for each invoice indivudually and then replacing with check number and date. There are about 200 invoices per month that I deal with, and it is a big waste of time!
For example from this
invoice #1 / reconciled (DATE)
invoice #2 / reconciled (DATE)
To this:
invoice #1 / paid (DATE) check # (xxxxx)
invoice #2 / paid (DATE) check # (xxxxx)

I've recently been making a macro in visual basic that loops through all my excel files and replaces an old company name to a new company name and It's working great, well except for one thing... It always misses one string in the file and it leaves me with 90% of the file corrected. I think that the string might be a part of a merged range so Range.Find is not able to find it. I was suggested to use this code:
[Code] ......
Because that's the code that is generated when using the replace function in MS Excel 2010, but I keep getting syntax errors?

Column H contains alphanumeric data (codes).
I need a macro that renames all cells in column H starting with the letter "B" by replacing B with "Temp" and thereafter cuts the last two digits of the code. B224501 would thus be Temp2245.

I was wondering if it is possible to perform a find and replace which would replace data from another column. We have a lot of data fields of our inventory that we exported which we are trying to condense for another program.
Example: I have a description column (AV) that has [[Manufacturer]] within the description. We want to find [[Manufacturer]] and replace with our data column (DD).
This is the data that has our manufacturers name in it. We have several find and replaces to do within the description column besides the above field.

I have never used VBA in word before, so I am assuming I am making it more complicated than it needs to be. I have a macro that stores 20 excel values as variables, then opens up a word document. I want to replace values in word with my values in excel. I keep getting an error with the replace part. I do not want to use bookmarks or mail merge. MSWord is a reference in excel VBA.
Code that stores excel variables (Example: Var1=Data1 and Var2=Data2)...
'Opening up the correct word document
Dim WdApp As Object, WdDoc As Object
Set WdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WdApp.documents.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & Range("D1").Value & ".doc"
WdApp.Visible = True

I am looking to make an excel script that can find and replace data.
Situation:
A--------B-----------C
Cat------Dog------Banana
Dog------Fish------Apple
Fish------Cat-------Orange
So the macro would look at the data in a cell in column B, then look at the adjacent cell in column C, and replace all instances of that data in column A with what if found in C. So the results would be:
A------------B-----------C
Orange------Dog------Banana
Banana------Fish------Apple
Apple--------Cat-------Orange
But that's not all, I would like it to not change cells in A that already have been changed once! (I'm trying this with changing the background colour)
I am at a complete loss and need to find and replace over 3000 items.

I am using the following vba code to find numeric codes in a column and replace them with the same code along with descriptive text:
Range("Q:Q").Select
Selection.Replace What:="11", Replacement:="11 - GSA"
Selection.Replace What:="10", Replacement:="10 - NYS OGS"
Selection.Replace What:="1", Replacement:=" 1 - Dist Sale"
Selection.Replace What:="2", Replacement:=" 2 - Direct Sale"
Selection.Replace What:="3", Replacement:=" 3 - No Sale: Warranty Exchange"
The problem as you might already see is that when the replacement of "1" happens, Excel will replace the 1 in the 10 and 11. Of course I want to only replace the number 1. Is there a better way to code this operation?

I am using lesson 33 of Excel VBA and Macros with Mr Excel as my guideline. The coding is as follows:
Dim WBO As Workbook 'original workbook
Dim WBN As Workbook 'individual data workbooks
Dim WSL As Worksheet 'List of files worksheet
Dim WSN As Worksheet
Set WBO = ThisWorkbook
Set WSL = WBO.Worksheets("List")
Set WSD = WBO.Worksheets("Data")
[Code] ......
I have indicated above with ( ) the beginning of my problem.
From the workbook with the list of workbooks to open, in each case I want to refer to a worksheet in each workbook
named "Report" and grab all the rows with data exept heading (rows 1 & 2) and 9 columns.
How do I get WSN in the code above to include the worksheet named "Report" or do I need different coding. Using Windows 7 & Excel 2010.

I'm looking to simply delete certain words that are in cells, without having to delete rows, columns or the entire cell. I can use 'find and replace' and replace the particular word with a space, but I really want to delete the word. I'm using both Excel 2003 and 2000.

I have Excel MAC 2011 and my spreadsheet was created with multiple cell colors randomly throughout the spreadsheet.
I need to change all the royal blue colored cells to "no color" without changing the data contained in the cell. For example; Cells A5:A38 are blue, A39 is green, A40:A50 blue, A51:60 green, ... Cells B5:B15 are grey, B16:B20 are blue, B21 is yellow...
I can't find the "Advanced Options" for Find and Replace that might have allowed me to specify a color change.
