    Data validation issue

    Hello,

    I have had to consolidate data into a summary. The data involves ad-hoc rows but they remain unchanged. Only the column change but unfortunately it is not set in a format where I can drag the data horizontally to reflect the correct column.

    For example I have the following list and I would like to be able to select it and change the "L" to "G" across the list.

    L78
    L85
    L91
    L99
    L130

    I'm trying to get
    G78
    G85
    G91
    G99
    G130

    Any help would be highly appreciated

    Did you try Edit|Replace and replace the L with G?
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    No I haven't! How do you do this? I'm completely useless with Excel. I use 2007. Thanks for the quick reply

    You should update your profile to state you are using 2007, not 2003.

    Select the range to change and go to Home tab.. Find & Select (far right) and then Replace

    Find What: L
    Replace With: G
