    Re: how to Find and Replace using different excel sheet?

    Assuming both workbooks are open, this should do it for updating column C on that target sheet:
    Option Explicit
    
    Sub MassFindReplace()
    Dim vSRC As Range
    Dim v As Range
    
    With Workbooks("Light Naming.xls").Sheets("Sheet1")
        .Range("A:B").Sort Key1:=.Range("A1"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlNo, _
            OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
            DataOption1:=xlSortTextAsNumbers
        
        Set vSRC = .Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlConstants)
    End With
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    With Workbooks("Electrical Master-Template.xlsx").Sheets("IL electrical-SB Map")
        For Each v In vSRC
            .Range("C:C").Replace v, v.Offset(, 1), xlPart
        Next v
    End With
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
    End Sub

    It's important that the data being searched for is sorted Descending before you do this, else a search for WS-1 will occur before the search for WS-10 and have already made an incorrect change to the sheet.
