Replace Full Text With Abbreviation
Dec 21, 2006
My workbooks have a column of state names that I need to replace the names with abbreviations. I am doing it manually with the Replace (Ctrl+H) right now, and it's very time-consuming since I'm doing it with numerous, large workbooks. I would be very grateful if there's a quicker solution. The state column is always the same (I). The states are United States and Canada, but I could edit if there's an existing solution from a different country, or modify a simliar work-around.

I want to be able to create shortcuts for cells by using abbreviations. i.e If I wanted a cell to come up as "Food Services" all I would have to do is type in "FS" rather then the entire word or continually using copy/paste for the various abbreviations. Is this possible through excel or would it be best to be done through ms access?

I need to replace a full column with a certain word. It needs to start at a specific cell and needs to replace the full column until it hits an empty cell. I can't do a find and replace because the words in that column are all different words.
For example:
I need it to replace all of column F starting at F2 with a specific word and it needs to keep replacing until it hits an empty cell.

[Code] .....
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?

I have a series of text - domains actually (i.e. goldintre.cr.usgs.gov.) - and I need to extract the text that appears before the first period in one cell, and the text that appears after the first period. Both have to be without the periods. So in the above example the result should be 'goldintre' in one cell and 'cs.usgs.gov' on the other.

Could you tell me how I can find a specific sentence within a cell that contains many sentences.
for example
I want to find, "I am new." within a text that contains, "Hello I am Bob. I am new. I live in england."
I am currently using =+FIND(AB$1,$V2) where AB1 contains the sentence I am looking for and V2 contains the cell full of sentences. However this returns #VALUE! when the sentence is not found. I want it to return null.

how to allow both these codes to work on say sheet 1. I can get one to work just fine. So, any tips on how to get them both to work on the same sheet would be great.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel. Range)
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, .Range("n1:n200")) Is Nothing Then
If Target = "S" Or Target = "s" Then Target = "Submitted"
If Target = "A" Or Target = "a" Then Target = "Approved"
If Target = "I" Or Target = "i" Then Target = "Investgating"
Else
End If
End With
End Sub
and this,.............

I've inserted the current date into an excel form using the TODAY() function.
I also need to provide the form in French, and when I change the language for the cell with the TODAY() function, it automatically abbreviates the month. For example, today's date appears as "13 nov. 2008" rather than "13 novembre 2008" as I would like it to appear.
Any ideas on how to change this?

I would like to have a UDF to convert any text string to an abbreviation. For example, "Del Puerto Creek at HWY" would be converted to DPCAH. Or "this text string" would be converted to TTS. This has to work on any string of any length in any cell. I guess the UDF would pass each character through a loop and extract the letter immediately after a space and capitalize the letter if it is not already in uppercase. The UDF would have to have the ability to drag using relative references. For example: =AbbrevTxt(A1). It does not matter what the UDF is named.

I have the need to create a workbook that will return values based on the entering of an abbreviation. I will use the chemical elements as an example, I wish to have a column formatted so that if 'Au' is entered the cell populates with 'Gold' or if 'Pb' is entered then the cell is populated with 'Lead'
So in my case I have all the abbreviations in one column and all the full descriptions in another (approx 500 different codes/description)

I have a list of abbreviations in Sheet 2 and Names of Companies (Full name of Company and short name) in Sheet 1.
What I need to do is check if the abbreviation used in the Short Name Field in Sheet 1 is correct based on the given abbreviation list in Sheet 2.
here is the example:
Sheet 1:
Fulll Name of Company
Short name
AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL, INC.
Ameriprise Fin
Sheet 2: Abbreviation List
Full Version
Abbreviation
Academic
Acad
Bank
Bk
Financial
Finl
in the abbreviation list the correct abbreviation for financial is Finl so the short name should have been "Ameriprise Finl" and NOT "Ameriprise Fin". I'd like the rows highlighted in yellow if it is incorrect.

I have an existing Cash Flow Report that has a column of abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title where each cell contains a unique three lettered/numbered amount of characters (Example: 200). These three abbreviated character cells are specific and relate to their full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title (Example: WBS DWRRI-BW066-200).
In my attached excel model (Find, Locate, and Align WBS Elements to Cash Flow Report.xlsx), I need a formula for the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru B11 that will look at the abbreviated three lettered/numbered (WBS Element) titles in cells C3 thru C11, then search and recognize its unique counterpart contained in the, "SAP WBS Elements Export" sheet and return this full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title to the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru. B11, just to the left of its abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title.

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 have a worksheet with several columns. I need a formula to search column D only and each time a specific location is identified to replace that location with alternate text. Example (ORIGNAL TEXT):
Column Dtext to text help.xlsx
BIRD
FISH
DOG
BAT
BUG
I need to search that listing and each time the word BIRD is mentioned have it replaced with FEATHERS and each time DOG is listed have it replaced with TAILS Final result would look like:
FEATHERS
FISH
TAILS
BAT
BUG
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.
Have working on this for at least 6 months and it just isn't going to happen for me. I thought I could use a Conditional format, but that is producing no results either.

Structure:
I have a worksheet with the cells in one of the columns having html tags inside of each cell.
The tags vary by location within the cell and there are anywhere from 0-10 tags per cell.
Column A is the text string. Inside these cells are the tags. The tags are of form
<A href="/mortgagecenter/article_alias">
The
<A href="/mortgagecenter/
and
">
parts are true for every instance of this string....
....article_alias is a variable per each string. I have columns B and C which are the aricle_alias names and article_ID's, respectively.
What I am trying to do:
From the [quote]<A href="/mortgagecenter/article_alias">[quote]
I would need to replace the
article_alias
portion with
ArticleID&"-"&article_alias

Trying to Find a specific word and Replace with another within a textbox ( created from the drawing tool, as well as the control toolbar) The textboxes contain loads of text information.
as an example
The word "Apple" to be replaced with "Orange"
I came across this code from the archives (compliments of Dave Hawley)
Sub ReplaceTextBoxText()
Dim sTextBox As Shape
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
Set wSheet = Sheets.Add()
For Each sTextBox In Sheet1.Shapes
I've tried several variations with no results. (perhaps it's to extensive for my modest needs)

I have a single column with more than 200.000 cells. In each cell there is a small image obtained from a website. There are four different images: red, orange, yellow and green . What I need is to replace all equal images by an equal string, such as (red square) =Q4, (orange square) =Q3 and so on, or, at least, place a string for each image type in an adjacent cell

I am importing content control information in a word file into excel by using a macro in excel. The information is coming across nicely but when the information about a checkbox comes across, in excel, that's what you see, a checkbox (☐ or ☒). Is there any way (formula or vba) to replace all the checkboxes with a yes or a no?
I wrote a formula that works:
Code:
=IF(G8="☒","YeS","nO")
But this will add this information to a new column and I would like to replace the information in the existing column (the form has about 200 checkboxes) and I don't want to add a bunch of new columns.
I also toyed with VBA:
Code:
Range("G1:G100").Replace "&", "No"
But when I try to paste the ☐ in the vba code, I get a "?" so I am assuming it doesn't recognize the ☐ as a valid character.

how to write a search and replace macro, but instead of writing:
Cells.Replace "OldText", "NewText"
how to independently read this "search" text into a string (hopefully a string that can handle 'more' than 255 characters per cell, even in Excel 2000) then replacing that search text("OldText") with ("NewText") step-by-step?
("OldText" can appear multiple times in one cell)

I want to find strikethrough text and replace it with blanks. In my sheet there are cells that contain both strikethrough and normal text. I tried using the 'Find and replace' tool, specifying the format. I've attached a picture with the settings from the Replace window.
The problem is that Excel finds the cells that contain strikethrough text, but replaces with blank ALL the cell content. I would like to replace only the strikethrough text from the cell and leave the normal text as it is!
