I have an excel workbook with 60 sheets (each contain data in the same categories and in the same column locations, just different information on each sheet). What would the VBA code look like if I wanted to manually enter the find and replace values and perform the function (find and replace) across multiple sheets in the workbook?
I need to do a find and replace on cell E13 on every worksheet in the workbook - a several hundred pages. The sheets are individually named not Sheet1, Sheet2......
First of all I need to find say "oldchippy" (without quotes) in cell E13 and if its there replace it with "oldchippy2", if its not there leave the contents as it is.
I need some vba coding which will find and replace text on a worksheet. This would normally be straight-forward, however some text needs to be replaced by text which already occurs in the worksheet, and without it changing as well (if Find/Replace can perform two Find/Replaces at the same time???).
Here is the detail and what I am trying to accomplish: I have two worksheets each with a table of data.Worksheet 1 has a lookup table with three columns of data (column a and b are lists, with c being a formulated column which is dependent on the user selecting either column a name or column b name). I have done this easily enough using data validation on cell $C$1.Worksheet 2 has a user input table which column 3 is a dropdown validation using the named range "UsedName" from Worksheet 1.
I want the selected dropdown names to automatically change when the user changes Old Name to New Name (and vis-versa) on Worksheet 1.The list of values in the data validation dropdown list change well enough, but not any of the existing returned values. When I tried to use vba coding to Find & Replace, I run into issues because (Substanital and Important) are used in both instances, but at different levels with different matched names Important/Relevant.
Worksheet 1 A B C D 1 Cell with dropdown list New Names 2 (Old Names, New Names) 3 4 Old Names New Names Names Level 5 Equal Equivalent Equivalent 1 6 Dominant Critical Critical 2 7 Important Substantial Substantial 3 8 Substantial Major Major 4 9 Relevant Important Important 5 10 Minor Irrelevant Irrelevant 6 formula for column C =IF($C$1="Used Names", A5, B5) column C is name ranged "Names
Worksheet 2 (Worksheet 2 has another table which has various data. One column which is a drop down list being pulled from Worksheet 1)
A B C D 1 Bob 25% Critical 19 2 Frank 60% Important 33 3 Ellen 40% Substantial 5 4 Ellen G 20% Substantial 12 5 Gary 55% Equivalent 100 6 Jo 50% Major 8 7 Peter 40% Important 22 8 Kim 12% Equivalent 30 9 Shelley 75% Substantial 15 10 John 75% Critical 90
so I want column C to automatically change from these New Names to the corresponding Old Name of the same level. So Critical would become Dominant, Important would become Relevant and Substantial would become Important.
I have a very large spreadsheet that I am using to track/analyze enterprise roles and the permissions that go along with each role. On the first sheet, I have a list of all employees (Name, Title, Department, etc) and on another sheet, I have a list of all Security Groups and Distribution Lists (with Members.) What I need to do is create a vba script that completes (1) a VLookUp using the Name column of the Employee sheet as the Criteria and then check against the first column in the Groups/Lists sheet for the matching name. If the employee's name from the Name column is found in the Group/Lists column, replace that name with the employee's Title from the Employee sheet. I then need this process to loop and continue through each column of the Groups/Lists sheet until all columns have completed. The end result should be that all names on the Groups/Lists sheet have been replaced with the corresponding Title found on the Employee sheet.
Yes, another homework for you guys. I have found the code to open the "Find and Replace" dialogue box but is it possible to open it with "within:" Workbook instead of Sheet?
I have a workbook with many different worksheets containing data. I am looking to find a certain city name in each worksheet and then replace the region name immediately to the left of the city name.
I have two workbooks.masterdata.xls (M: estmasterdata.xls)emp1.xls (M: estempFilesemp1.xls) Workbook emp1.xls has one worksheet- same name as workbook(emp1). In first (masterdata.xls) workbook I also have worksheet name (emp1). What I am trying to do is transfer all data from (emp1.xls, worksheet "emp1") to worksheet "emp1", which is in masterdata.xls workbook.
I need to recode 30+ files the have the old account numbers and I need to replace them with new codes ie
Old New 123456 10_1240 256789 12_1130 789123 15_1122
I have an excel spreadsheet which contains some 800 accounts in the format above showing old account number in column A and the new account number in column B. How would I write the VBA code to search all files in a specified folder search all rows in column E and find/replace using my spreadsheet containing the mapping details as above? or in the very least just be able to run a macro to replace all the old codes in an individual spreadsheet.
I want to have a macro in excel where it will do a simple find and replace, except I want it to search for more than one word and replace it with one eg, I want it to look for any month and replace it with january.
I have been put together some simple coding to find and replace a value (1) that i have obtained from a pivot table. My aim was to replace any "1" with the column header. The reason for this is that the cell(s) will be used in a VLookup at a late stage.
My problem is that I have the code to work for a single cell, but I want it to work for multiple columns so I don not have to create multiple macros.
I need to go from Column C to AW. I have a total row at the end - hence why I am using 'Step - 1'.
Code: Sub FindReplace() Dim i, lRow Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
I currently have two lists I am working with. One is a big mix of many different names, names which all need to be replaced.
I have another list which has all of these original names included in one column and the names which should replace those names in the column next to it.
Is there a way to go down this list and have excel find and replace every name in the sheet with its corresponding name without having to do it manually over and over?
say that i have alist of data in "A2:A", which are a string file (text) and i want to rename each data to a certain name that defined in range "B1:B2" (String file too).
For Example: for range C2 = S16e C3 = 16/E C4 = 18W C5 = Site18 w
& The target name is to be: B1=16E B2=18W
For case above, i need to replace C2&C3 in to 16E, while C4&C5 to be 18W.
I have a list of cell entries that I want to find and replace with different text or a number. My code below is 4 of them. I am trying to do the replace over 3 different sheets at the same time but I am only changing the 1st sheet with my efforts.
I have an Excel file with multiple sheets and I want to find and replace matching cell data on the same row across all of the sheets. For example, I have two columns, Column A and Column C and 10 sheets. I want to only replace the content in Column A if text matches both Column A and Column C on the same row. So, I want to be able to search for the following data across all sheets:
Column A = "car" Column C = "yellow"
If both "car" and "yellow" are found in Column A and Column C on the same row, then replace "car" in Column A with "truck".
Is there a way to do this automatically as I have few hundred to find and replace?
So I have a list of organizations in Column A, with multiple names (anywhere from 0 to 50 names) for each org. in Column B.
Org Names Company A Brown, Jones, Smith, West
[Code]...
I want to do a find and replace for all of Column B, where all the names are replaced with their respective color values. If possible, I'd like this to all happen with the individual cells (so for example, B3 might go from "Brown, Jones, Smith" to "Red, Red, Blue").
If that's not possible, I could divide all the names into individual cells and then find and replace.
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 am looking for a code that would copy the data from each worksheet in a given workbook and then paste to just one worksheet within a different workbook. The Sheet names are auto generated when I run this canned report but the naming structure is always the same...the first worksheet is named Repair Details and then the next sheet is named Repair Details_1, the next sheet is named Repair Details_2 and so on for every sheet in workbook. So I would like to copy all of the data(Headers to last cell) and then paste in a worksheet(ex: Master Repair Report.xlsx and the worksheet could be titled Master Repair Details) on a different workbook, then the next sheet would copy from the one under the header to the last record and paste to the same workbook. This process would repeat for every worksheet in the Repair Details Workbook and paste to Master Repair Details worksheet in the Master Repair Report workbook.
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 am trying to find specific text throughout an excel document (2007) and replace it with the same text but in italics. I tried using the options/format function and selecting italics for the "replace" text but it replaces the entire cell text in italics instead.
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.
For example this function is as follows: =IF(OR(AND(X1=4674,Q1="YES"),AND(X1=5400,Q2="YES". I wanna replace every "YES" in the worksheet with the letter Y for example.
