    Dynamic Find and Replace

    Greetings all,

    Is there a way in which you can use two cells (a2 & b2 for example) with a button to trigger a macro which will search for a2 and replace with b2 over a certain range of cells? unless there is a function to do it of course, which i would prefer!!

    Ta muchly,
    Ali Mac

    Sure is; you have two simple options -

    1. take a look at the Find function; this is directly out of the online help:

    Obviously, you'd just make the "2" the value of A2 and "5" the value of B2 in your example.

    2. use the Replace function:

    Hope that helps.

    Ah, but i want A2 and B2 to change without having to change the macro. Will this accept that? i.e. 1 is "A2" and 2 is "B2"???

    Thanks Shijesh So Retro - the answer to your question is "yes"; just replace my "asdf" and "qwerty" with the range values as Shijesh has shown below.
