Replace Character With Another
I'm trying to go through a short list of letters and change the contents of every cell in the list that contains a "c" into a "M". I've written this code, but I get a #Value! message on my spreadsheet when I run it:
Function FindCpmDpm(SearchRng As Range)
Dim CelRng As Range
For Each CelRng In SearchRng
If CelRng.Value = "c" Then
CelRng.Value = "M"
End If
Next CelRng
End Function
I am having trouble accessing the cell which contains the "c".

Unwanted Character, Can Not Search And Replace
I have a sheet that I often have to edit and import into SQL database. I have no control over the format of the sheet given to me and it seems that something has changed causing me the following problem. When I try to import the Data it’s showing ten times as many items than are actually there. The problem I think is in a text column. I’ve tested this by using an old column from a previous sheet and pasting this into the new sheet and I can import it ok. What I seem to have is a rectangular box character but I’m not sure what it is. I can copy and past it into Notepad as it is, but pasted into Word it seems to be a carriage Return. So whether it’s an actual charter or not I’m not sure. Are there any tools out there so I can hover over characters in Excel to see what it is! So at least I can be sure what I’m trying to Search and Replace?

Concatenate Cells & Replace Certain Character With Line Breaks
I have 2 sheets in a work book. Sheet 1 I paste information from an email into A4.

Replace Small Square Character With Line Break After Import
When importing text from a CSV, the 'line returns' appear in a cell as a small square with faded left and right sides. The do force a line break as intended. However, they are a nuisance in reading and printing. When I use ALT+ENTER to force a line break, there is no visible character (on screen or printed) for the line break, which is as it should be. How can I replace this 'special character' line break with one not visible?

Append All Digits Before Character To All Numbers Between The Same Character
I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers? Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.

Catching Errors When Using The Find / Replace Function / Replace All

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.

Is There A Substitute Character That Can Be Used
I have a whole bunch of dates in a column that look like this: 5/01/1998 when it is supposed to be 5/01/2098 is there a character you can use when you are using the find & replace mode i.e. */**/20** I know it is not the asterisk but I believe there is some other character that can be used and it won't change any other of the numbers except the 19.

Character Limits
I copied this from Excel: Length of cell contents (text) 32,767 characters. Only 1,024 display in a cell; all 32,767 display in the formula bar. I have an Address Book from an old Personal Information Manager that exports the file as ASCII. My problem is when I view the .asc file in Excel, Excel has created two rows for several entries. That creates a problem as I wanted to select Column "A" then do Text to columns with a comma delimiter (the asc files has the comma in place) However, since Excel put in the second line, I'll not be able to put in a header column. When I look at the .asc file there is no way that there is more than 32,767 characters in each row. So why did Excel split it up? ....

Character Limit?
I'm adding some necessary code to the beginning and end of some cell contents in Format | Cells | Custom and I seem to be coming up against a character limit. I'm using the phrase "!!<"@">!!" to add the code, but with some cell contents the result is ########### (but much longer), and I'm having to remove some of the text to make it work. The limit seems to be around 255 characters.

Word After Last Specified Character
I am new to Excel and just starting with formulas. I am wondering if a formula can handle the following: We have a column that has a url in each cell. Example (I removed the http:// before it so that all the words show up and it doesn't change to a clickable link): i25.photobucket.com/albums/c54/bigbusy/S_Images/sylvantropicalbirdi.jpg[/url] We would like to tell it to copy the portion after the last forward slash and until the period and put it in another cell. In the above example it would give us sylvantropicalbirdi. We then would want to append a _t to it. Is this possible or am I just wasting my time trying to figure it out?

Is there some macro code I can use to make this change? Otherwise I have to change hundreds of these manually.

ASCII Code For Character
Find the ASCII character code for the characters in cells A3-D3? I have a problem importing data into the database because of these cells. They have some weird properties: ISBLANK would return them FALSE; however if I leave blank space in "Find and Replace" it will find and replaces those cells together with cells which are genuinely blank. So I could theoretically go and replace all blank cells to some character (for example ^), then do the opposite and replace ^ into blank and it would solve the problem, but I am curious as to what exactly this character is.

Specifically it is like this: I have formulas to be evaluated like the following: =899+59-6 I need a formula which can look into the formula and if it finds the character "-" or a "+", brings me a true or false message.

Reading One Character Of Text
The following code reads text one character at a time, and each character is determined either to be a blank space or to be any other character. If it's determined to be any other character, then the character is added to the active cell. If it's determined to be a blank space, then the active cell becomes the cell one column over. The idea is to have different words written in columns next to each other. The sample text file I'm reading from reads: "text file". The file has only those two words. One space between them. No space before the first word, and no space after the second word. The following code compiles and runs. BUT the result is that the word "text" is in column k, not A. And the word "file" is in column J, not b.
