I have over 16000 cells with different information in them, each cell is unique. There are parts of these cells that have similar information.
I am looking to search part of the cell, and replace the whole cell with my new description, so I can run pivot tables on it.

I have a large spreadsheet, within which i am trying to remove commas from all cells. I get the error 'formula is too long' when I carry out the search. Some of the cells are >1024 characters in length and contain dates, text etc.

I have a requirement... which need to search from a cel if it march then replace with below name. When user gives a selection screen, month displays in a cell A1.
For example: If this cel (A1) is jan then it should replace with Jan, if mar then replace with mar, if MAI then replace with MAY, if sep then replace with SEP, if OKT then replace with OCT.... and so on...
or
It search the cell A1 for MAI, then replace with MAY & also should search for if A1 is OKT then replace OCT, & also if A1 is DZC then replace with DEC.
I know the function of ....
[=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*MAI*",A1)),"MAY",A1)] =
This formula brings me only 1 search, but I need 3 search if match replace with respective character. this should search for OKT & DZC ALSO....
present - new
JAN - JAN
FEB - FEB
MAR - MAR
APR - APR
MAI - MAY
JUN - JUN
JUL - JUL
AUG - AUG
SEP - SEP
OKT - OCT

I have a work problem where my spreadsheets have the following structure due to faulty optical character recognition:
Ringholm 8 G R hem.ag Bavik Postl 115 O Amtervik
Rinman K H B dir Johannebergsg 34 Goteborg S
Risberg L kass Mitandersfors Bogen
In some cases the letters in the beginning of the cells have been misread as a number (above S as 8), so I want to search and replace those numbers with the correct letter without changing the correct numbers at the end of the cells to letters too. Is there any way to write a search-and-replace code in VBA that will only implement the search-and-replace in (for example) the first five letter-spaces of the cell?

Search multiple cells for certain string and then replace the text of the entire cell with new text. For example the text may contain:
"A Chestnut Leather Satchel Binocular Case "They'll Fight Over When You're Dead" (Binocularcase-SL-CH)"
I want to search for SL-CH and once that is found I want to replace the contents of the entire cell with the following: Satchel Chestnut (SL-CH)

I'm using the code below to do a simple search & replace. The code is working fine.
My problem is after the search & replace is done, certain cells that contain numbers look weird with decimal points & plus signs similar to Format Cells - Scientific. How do I prevent these cells from looking 'weird' in my code?
I've attached a workbook with 2 sheets called Before & After. You can see the 'weird' cells in After.
Sub Macro1()
Cells.Replace What:=": ", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder _
:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
End Sub

I have values in row A and I have values in row C. I want to create a loop to look up xxx and replace it with the values consecutively in row C. Look at example for a better Idea. I found a way to find and replace, but I not sure how to use it with qoutes. I was thinking maybe I dont even need row A and just supply a list and excel could have the chunk of data in the code itself.

I have created a desk planning spreadsheet in excel. Each week a mailmerge sends out an email to everyone in the office asking them to confirm when they will need a desk in the next week.
As the normal employee doesnt get involved in desk planning I want them simply to state whether they will be in the building or not by entering "GH" (our building) in a cell under each day in the email they get sent.
When the reply comes in we select the cells from the email and then paste them into the desk planning spreadsheet.
-----
WHAT I NEED TO DO:
Select some cells (must be in the same row - that we have just pasted in).
Press a button on the Worksheet labelled "Auto Assign Desk", which does this:-
For each cell that contains "GH", replace with the right-most cell to the left of the selection that starts "GH_"... (this is the start of a unique desk reference (GH_1_1, GH_1_2,etc.)
-----
This will assign the employee to the desk they were sat at last, when they are in the office next week.

Here is the scenario:
A B C D
BananasApplesOrangesTotal113=A1+B1+C1
I need to reference the formula in D1 with the cells headers names.
In a perfect world, it would take
=A1+B1+C1:
and produce:
=Bananas+Apples+Oranges

I am using vlookup to get a cell value from another sheet, but if the cell has "&" or "/" I need to substitue "&" and "/" with "and" so that the cell can be added later to a url.
i am using =VLOOKUP(a1,Sheet2!A1:W17968,6) to get the value of a1 in sheet 2 and return the value of column 6
this will return "Audio Cables & Leads" but i need it to say Audio Cables and Leads
I need the formula to also check and replace "/" with "and" as well so cables/wire will be Cables and wire

with the data in the attached sheet, I create several different pivot tables that need show the count of the information in the columns M:DU. My issue is that the data is sent to me from a third party and the columns contain zeros that cause the counts to inflate.
What I would like to be able to do is run a macro that will search out any zeros in M:DU and replace them with a blank cell.
Unfortunately the number of rows increases with every monthly reporting cycle so the macro would need to be able to accommodate for that.

I have several hundred rows of date/times which I need to modify just the date (for example 08/23/2007 11:00 to 08/15/2008 11:00). Each row may have a different time so it is just the date I'm targeting for change.
If I manually use the replace dialog, replacing 08/23/2007 with 08/15/2008 works just fine. However, if in code I attempt to use the Cells.Replace function, it does not locate any data to change.
I have found that if I search for the string 8/23/2007, the dates are located and changed. Only when I attempt to find the fully formatted date 08/23/2007 does the function fail.

In the following formula, I would like to replace STARK with the value in cell D33. I've tried a couple of different things using &s but no luck yet. I think I'm just missing something really simple.

=IF(SEARCH($C$2,'705334-0707-0408'!C3)>0,ROWS($1:2),"")
Subsequent data selection also results in #VALUE...
=IF(ROWS($1:1)>COUNT($A$5:$A$1000),"",INDEX('705334-0707-0408'!B:B,SMALL($A$5:$A$1000,ROWS($1:1))+1))
In sheet one I have a list of bank transactions. I want to find all transactions matching a specific search string (in $C$2). $C$2 is compared with data in column B of sheet 705334-0707-0408.
How do I get a nul value in column A (=IF(SEARCH($C$2,'705334-0707-0408'!C3)>0,ROWS($1:2),"")). I've tried to compare the result to #VALUE, and tried NOT and a few other combinations, but can't get it to work.
I cant use the contents of a different column; there are only date, details and amount. None of date or amount influence, or are influenced by the details in column B.

I'm not sure if this is impossible (surely not) or if I'm just Googling the wrong terms (most likely). I have a sheet that we use to record staff shifts and when they take their lunch breaks. By default most of our employees have a 1 hour lunch and they take it 4 hours after they start. So far so good, I've set up a formula to work out what time their lunch would start and end based on this.
N237: =IF(AND(L237>0,L237<>"NWD"),SUM(L237+(1/6)),0) - Lunch start 4 hours after start time in L237 (NWD = Non working day)
M237: =IF(N237>0,SUM(N237+(1/24)),0) - Lunch ends 1 hour after lunch start time in N237
However, not everybody follows the default - some people take lunch later, or don't take as long due to working shorter hours.
What I'd like to do is allow users of the sheet to overtype the times generated by the formulas when applicable, but if they delete their own custom value for lunch breaks I would like the formulas to re-appear and thereby return lunch times to the default values.
I could do this through VBA with a button to look for blank cells, but I would prefer it to happen automatically. Is this possible and if so what code would I need to make the magic happen?
I should maybe have mentioned that this sheet has space for 250 names and an area for each day of the week, so these formulas would appear in 1,250 different places

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.
A1=103 B1=104
A2=104 B2=105
A3=105 B3=Out-1p-(1)
A4=110 B4=111
A5=111 B5=112
A6=112 B6=113
A7=113 B7=114
A8=114 B8=Out-3p-(23)
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 have a Master work sheet consisting sale data of more than 400 Sales person for a period of 6 Months.
The Employee Codes are entered in column "F" starting from F6, F7, F8 and so on....
G5,H5, I5, J5, K5, L5 to GV5 has the product names.
G5,H5, I5, J5, K5, L5 to GV5 has the qty of product sold by that concern sales person.
Since each sales person's occurrence is 6 times in the master sheet, I would like to have a code to search each and every sales person by their employee ID through out the entire master sheet, sum each product they sold as per the product name and get it entered in their concern cells.

I have created a file which generates a file name from information entered in certain cells
Code:
Sub SaveAsExample() On Error GoTo Err1:
Dim FName As String
Dim FPath As String
FPath = "O:PHC BomsDropbox - Stage & Gate"
FName = Sheets("Control Sheet").Range("B1").Text & " " & Sheets("Control Sheet").Range("B2").Text
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "" & FName
Err1:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Control sheet B1 = SG999
Control sheet B2 = Product Description
EG - SG999 Prod Description.xlsm
Now here's the problem -
Very occasionally some users may edit the Prod Description & then need to re-save
So i need to create some code which looks for an element of the current file name in a Directory (O:PHC BomsDropbox - Stage & Gate) EG "SG999" (Which could be 5 or 6 characters in length (if we go over 1000)
Delete this file, replaces it with the new file with the edited information.

I have numerous formulas that use a macro with an indirect cell reference, for example:
INDIRECT(macro(A21))
I am moving these formulas to a different workbook and I need them to still refer to items in the old sheet. I accomplish this by using this formula:
INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro(A21)))
This works. However, I need to do a global search and replace for all of these formulas without deleting my indirect cell reference. I could replace
macro
with
CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro
but that would leave me short a ).
Is there a way to use a wildcard to accomplish this? It does not seem that replace
macro(*)
with
CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro(*))

I want to set up a sheet macro that will replace the contents of a cell (when a specific number is typed in) with a specific formula.
For instance, when "43" is typed into any cell within specified columns (say columns C and H), it changes to the following formula: =IF(D47="",43,IF(D47<=3030,408,43))(WHERE D47 WOULD REPRESENT THE CELL ADJACENT TO THE CELL WHERE "43" WAS TYPED.)
IE:
If "43" was typed into cell C1, then it would change to the formula: =IF(D1="",43,IF(D1<=3030,408,43))
If "43" was typed into cell C50, then it would change to the formula: =IF(D50="",43,IF(D50<=3030,408,43))

I have a worksheet that I produced from optical character recognition, and there are a lot of funky characters that I need to get rid of. One is a line break or carraige return (I assume it's the same character that I could insert by entering ALT+ENTER). How do I search for this special character to replace it? How do I identify what that invisible character is?
