    How to Replace a Number with Text?

    Hi guys,

    Newbie here. I'm trying to figure out how to replace a set of cells that have numbers in them with text.

    Basically I need a function to say, if there is a # in this cell, replace it with "Yes", if not, leave it alone.

    If you guys could help out I would appreciate it immensely!

    Thanks

    Let's say your data is in column A starting in A2

    In F2 (or any other empty column)
    =IF(ISNUMBER(A2), "Yes", A2)
    copied down

    Then copy and Paste Special>Values on top of column A to replace the original data with the new data if that's what you want.

    Thank you! That worked perfectly!

    You saved me a ton of time going through each one and replacing them all manually.
