I need to replace A1*FX! with A1/FX! within thousands of formulas (and many variants of A1)
Unfortunately whenever I attempt this is deletes the A1 (or whatever cell is being referenced)
How to stop find replace doing this?
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 really would like to alter about 1000 lines of formulas. Here's a sample of the code.
Code:
=IF(COUNTBLANK($AE$6:$AE$7),"",MIN(U7,AD289*$AE$37))
=IF(COUNTBLANK($AE$6:$AE$7),"",MIN(U8,AD290*$AE$37))
=IF(COUNTBLANK($AE$6:$AE$7),"",MIN(U9,AD291*$AE$37))
=IF(COUNTBLANK($AE$6:$AE$7),"",MIN(U10,AD292*$AE$37))
[Code] ....
*****The last line of code is below*****
=IF(COUNTBLANK($AE$6:$AE$7),"",MIN(U966,AD1248*$AE$37))
What I'm really trying to do is replace all the numbers (well, max of 3) after the U part to U6.
So,, for example ,, if in the code it shows MIN(U16,,,,,,,, I want it to show MIN(U6
So as an example
Code:
=IF(COUNTBLANK($AE$6:$AE$7),"",MIN(U966,AD1248*$AE$37))
WILL NOW BE
=IF(COUNTBLANK($AE$6:$AE$7),"",MIN(U6,AD1248*$AE$37))
So U6 is in all the formulas.
I've tried searching on google,, saw a video here on UTube;

Showed some great stuff,, but I just didn't quite get it for the above.
I would like to know if it is possible to complete a "Find and Replace" but replace with a formula as opposed to a value?

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 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.
How do you replace a string in a Formula within a cell or several cells?
For example:
=SUM(Sales[Monthly])
find and replace Monthly with Quarterly
I basically want to find and replace certain characters in a formula, but the formula is quite intricate so I will give some background to the problem first:
I have a complex spread sheet which is used to check if a data array matches another data array (both data arrays are different sizes). One array has a set of parameters for a variable and the other array has the variables and the actual values for each variable. I have a section with the following formulas to check if the actual value (C121&D121) matches the parameters ($A$9:$A$108, $B$9:$B$108) & ($C$9:$C$108, $D$9:$D$108)
I have the following formula in cell AB121:
=(C121=INDEX($B$9:$B$108,ROW(101:101)-INT(ROW(100:100)/$D$1)*$D$1))
In cell AC121:
=(D121=INDEX($D$9:$D$108,ROW(101:101)-INT(ROW(100:100)/$D$1)*$D$1))
And have similar formulas from AD121 to AY121. I mention this to point out that excel regards this as an inconsistent formula, I haven't copied and pasted it over, I have had to re-enter it in each cell adjusting the parameter sections.
The problem I have is that currently this is set up to check through a data set and wrap around every 100 rows ('100' Entered in $D$1) but I want to adjust the formula when there is a different amount of rows to check. So basically the only way I can think to be able to do this is to have a formula or something in VBA (which I have very low level experience with) to be able to go into the formula and change certain characters within the formula. For example, if I wanted to check 95 rows instead of 100, it would need to have 95 in $D$1, which I enter in manually, but then how to go in and replace (101:101)-INT(ROW(100:100) with (96:96)-INT(ROW(95:95) in 2 sections in the 1 formula then do the same with the inconsistent formula from AC121:AY121?
I'm looking to simply delete certain words that are in cells, without having to delete rows, columns or the entire cell. I can use 'find and replace' and replace the particular word with a space, but I really want to delete the word. I'm using both Excel 2003 and 2000.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Excel MAC 2011 and my spreadsheet was created with multiple cell colors randomly throughout the spreadsheet.
I need to change all the royal blue colored cells to "no color" without changing the data contained in the cell. For example; Cells A5:A38 are blue, A39 is green, A40:A50 blue, A51:60 green, ... Cells B5:B15 are grey, B16:B20 are blue, B21 is yellow...
I can't find the "Advanced Options" for Find and Replace that might have allowed me to specify a color change.
I have an excel workbook where some sheets have a column called "Name" in Row 3. The column where "Name" appears shifts based upon other criteria so it's not set within 1 specific column.
The real data for the "Name" column starts in Row 5. Is it possible to create a macro that looks in Row 3 for "Name", then once it finds that column, it does a find and replace from Row 5 to the end of the data and replaces every space with a ^.
For example, if I have:
Row 3 Name
Row 4
Row 5 John Smith
Row 6 Jane Doe
Row 7 John Doe
Row 8 Jane Smith
I'd like the data to become:
Row 3 Name
Row 4
Row 5 John^Smith
Row 6 Jane^Doe
Row 7 John^Doe
Row 8 Jane^Smith
I'm using Excel 2010 if that impacts anything.
I have a formula in cell J2:
='H:Folder[CI10001G.xlsm]Sheet'!$C$5
I need a macro that will change the part of the formula that is "CI10001G" to the value of cell A2 which would basically be something along the lines of "CI10004D" so the formula would change to the following:
='H:Folder[CI10004D.xlsm]Sheet'!$C$5
And then this formula will then successfully look in the newly directly file path.
Is there a formula that can find a keyword within a cell then replace it with a formula that will add the adjacent cell value up.

I am looking for a formula that can automatically calc (B3) to 106 (based upon cell A3) if the cell has a value of (*out*).
I'm receiving this message when I attempt to use the Find, Replace function. Formula is too long". I have a column of cells containing text only. ( about 2-3 paragraphs worth) I'm trying to replace a name with another name, which works fine where the cell contains a single or few sentences, but fails to replace when the cell contains too much information.

I recently became owner of a spreadsheet with some issues, and I am trying to make it useful. Each row has a URL of a blog post, and I want to extract the date from it (which is present in each URL) while getting rid of the rest of the URL. I was able to get rid of everything up to the year (which comes first), but then the URL continues, for example, 2013/05/16/the-rest-of-the-url/ and I would like to just have 2013/05/16 remain.
I am trying to use find and replace with the find box reading 2013/??/??/*/ and replacing it with 2013/??/?? which effectively erases everything else in the url, but leaves ?? instead of the numbers. Is there any way to have it so that it keeps whatever was in the original box?

Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?
Need assistance with the code for catching errors when using the find / replace function in excel? In particular, I am trying to write code to break to an error message when the value or string searched for isn't found in the find / replace. At the minute I have just copied the standard code using a macro and all this does is return a message box saying X entries replaced.

All other text should stay the same and replacement text should appear in the cell of the text it is replacing. This is a sheet used by multiple people several times a day and so the Find/Replace option really won't work.
