I want to replace texts in Electrical Master template.xls using data from Light naming.xls.The second xls file containds data to find in column A and to replace with in Column B.How to use second excel file to replace data in 1st excel file?please help i dont want to search and replace manually![]()
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.
