Replacing Code With String Value

I know that in C it is possible doing this by using what is called a MACRO

I have a situation where a word (in this case "Restaurant") is misspelled in a list of about 78,000 location names. The location names are in one column, and the [misspelled] word "Restaurant" is anywhere between the first word of the string, to the last, with any amount of alphanumeric/symbol characters between. For example:
Alice's Restaurant
Alli's Restaurant & Bar
Alexis Restaurant of Waukesha
Amigo's Mexican Restaurant #2
I want to replace any misspellings of the word with correct, but since the list is so long, and the way the word is misspelled varies so much, going through manually is entirely too time-consuming.
Some of the variations I've seen so far are Resta, Restau, Restaur, Restuara, etc...
Is there a way to search and replace cells that contain the text in any location of the string? Specifically, where ever there is JUST "Restau", replace with "Restaurant", regardless of where it is in the string? This way, trailing text is not deleted or manipulated, i.e. "Alice's Restaur and Bar" will change to "Alice's Restaurant and Bar".
I have attached my excel sheet. I have continuous fraction numbers in every attribute value. How can i write vba code for replacing continuous fraction numbers in on row
Attribute name1 Attribute Value1
materials1 1/2 IN ID, 2/3 IN LG, 4/5 IN OD 1/4 IN THK
materials2 1/2 IN ID, 2/3 IN LG, 4/5 IN OD
materials3 1/2 IN ID, 2/3 IN LG
example: 1/2 IN ID, 2/3 IN LG, 4/5 IN OD 1/4 IN THK in a single row
I have TOOL OUT sheet
ModelNumberAttributeValue Replace Value
1materials2/4 IN LG, 3/4 IN ID, 5/9 IN OD,1/15 IN THK
2materials1/2 IN LG, 2/9 IN
3materials4/15 IN
4materials5/18 IN
5materials4/19 IN
6materials2/4 IN
7materials1/2 IN
8materials4/15 IN
9materials5/18 IN
10materials4/19 IN LG, 9/8 IN
11materials2/4 IN LG, 3/4 IN ID, 5/9 IN OD,1/15 IN THK
I want this to converted in (Replace value column)
Example 0.5 IN LG, 0.75 IN ID, 0.55 IN OD,0.06 IB

I have two sheets - sheet1 and sheet2. Everytime i run a macro in the sheet1and manually copy the rows from sheet1 {starting (A2:AI2)} and paste as values it in the sheet2 {starting (A2:AI2)}.
Then I ll delete the available datas in the sheet1 and will run a macro for different customer.
Again I need to repeat the same action (manually copy and paste the datas to sheet2) without replacing the existing data in the sheet1.
In simple I require a macro code where it copy the available information in sheet1 and paste it as values in the sheet2 without replacing the existing one.
Data validation failed me here, so I resorted to VB to esnure only letters are entered in a certain cell. The code below is a mess and I need a hand to repair it. I can't figure out how to declare i . .

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("a59")) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
how could I use string to execute VBA. For example
x=10
mystring1="for i =1" & " to " & CStr(x)
mystring2="msgbox i"
mystring3 ="next i"
execute mystring1 & mystring2 & mystring1
Like this, I want to combine a VBA CODE string.
And use this string to execute VBA
I am using the following code to read a formula as a string. But sometimes the use r may forget to enter formula in the particular cell. In this case I want to check if the first character of the string is a Equal-to Sign (=). In case it is then macro proceeds further otherwise a message prompts user to enter a formula first. how to check if the first character of the string is a '=' sign?

For icount = 1 To LenComputername
valComputername = Asc(Mid(UserComputername, icount, 1))
Next icount
If the computer name is NAMTOK-PC Then the LenComputername is 9. Does that mean then that the valComputername is equal to 78?
Is there a formula that can be used to convert a manufacturing LOT Number to a Date? For example, the first six digits of our Lot Number are the MMDDYY followed by an item description (120913DKP-01). We are trying to pull the 120913 portion out of the lot number to equal a Date of Manufacture of December 9, 2013.

For example, cell 1 can contain:
ABC.EF US - I need to remove the .EF so I'm left with ABC US
ABCDEF.GH TT - I need to remove the .GH so I'm left with ABCDEF TT
The length of the part preceeding the "." will vary, as will the last two characters (the exchange code). I expect that there will always be two characters immediately after the "." which are to be removed.
My question is about converting a Literal String to Character Code. I'm using the following coded InputBox. And it prompts the user for what characters to search for in a string.

I have come across this wonderful piece of code that kind of accomplishes what I am after, to a point. Though I would like the output string to be displayed with a few extra characters.
Code:
Function Concat(rng As Range, Optional sep As String = " , ") As String
Dim rngCell As Range
Dim strResult As String
For Each rngCell In rng
If rngCell.Value "" Then
strResult = strResult & sep & rngCell.Value
End If

I want the output to be:
["cell1" , "cell2" , "cell3" , "cell4" , "cell5"]

This is column a and b. Looking at b I am looking for a formula that will pull the first capital letter out of each word like ACR to create color codes.
I would like to extract competition naps from the competition entries and then remove the string ending "nap" from the data so it can be pasted to another sheet in it's 'clean' format.
on the example sheet column B will always be the first column and the range will extend to either G,H or I (always the max range as there are always 6 to 8 races)
i would like the code to search through these columns of data and find the cell ending in 'nap' then to return this in column i, once done remove 'nap' ending from both the source cell and column i.
once done to then go through all the rows and do similar
the end result would be all naps returned into cell j and all the 'nap' endings through the data range B to I (max) to be removed to leave the horses name only.
in book 3 the first row nap was sommersturm so i have shown the outcome i would like with the nap ending in I1 removed and the horse name returned in J1 again minus 'nap' ending.
the data will always be clean with no leading/trailing/excessive spaces and always be lower case too. sometimes a space is not in between horse name and nap but it's always last 3 characters i want removed still.
I need a code that search through a column, counts the numer of times a string occurs and creates on another sheet the unique string and the number of times it occured.
e.g
I have this columns in a worksheet
s/n name company trainer
1 ball Dell Mk
2 doll Msed Kl
3 kol Dlink Mk
4 ball Msed Cl
5 Koll Dell Gl
I need the result to appear on another worksheet like this
Name NumberofTraining
Ball 2
doll 1
Koll 2
If n = 5, then I want to generate a string like this: "1+2+3+4+5". Similarly, if n = 7, I want the string "1+2+3+4+5+6+7".
I can generate the consecutive numbers, but have not figured out how to generate the required string.
A
B
1
Terry lives in England
=FORMULA
2
Claire lives in Spain
3
Paul live in France
I'm looking for a simple formula within the cells of column B to populate the cell with data based on the "country" mentioned in the string of cells in column A. There will be 20 countries and dependant on the country mentioned a 3 character country code will be entered in column B allowing for easy filtering of people based on country code. so something along the lines of if A1 contains "England" B1 equals ENG etc (for abot 20 countries)
The output should look like below

Terry lives in England

I have set up a forecasting module for my company, which I update on a weekly basis.
Basically, I centered my forecast on an 8 week average. Using all of the various equations in a regression, the 8 week series of data is used close to 500,000 times for each week’s forecast. What I am trying to do is move the 8 week series (A#:G#) and change it to the next set of cells (B#:H#) without having to do it using a filter and change all of the various instances of the occurrence. Because of the nature of the forecast, I will be "rolling" it forward every week, so to be able to do this all at once each week would save me a bunch of time. I tried using the Find/Replace fn by having it use the * symbol in place of the #...and this worked when I had it Find the data, but when I tried to use it to Replace the data, it reported an error?
I have series of companies and output ,some values of output are missed how can be replaced by the average of nearst two years values of output or replaced by the following or previous value of output,sample of my data is attached.
