    Find and Replace

    Hello everyone!!

    Question is there a way when i do find and replace if i can find and replace a list?

    Example:
    Find: 4.5k 5.0k 6.0k
    Replace: 4,500 5,000 6,000

    Its just a lot of work to go through each one. I know i can find all of 4.5k and replace ALL at the same time but was wondering if i can do a list and replace all at the same time.

    Hopefully i did not lose you.

    Thanks!

    Is the 4.5k formatted to show that way or is the value in the cell "4.5k". To check this, click on the cell and look in the formula bar. Does it show "4.5k" or "4500"?
