    Creating Rules for a Table

    Very simply question I would imagine but for some reason its not coming to me. How can I create a rule for a table that finds a specified word and replaces it with another such that the rule would continue to apply to the table even when a new record (or row) is added. There has to be a simple way to do this without a macro.

    Hi wagstaffjh

    Welcome to the forum.

    Would this word be in the same position, or could it be in any column, in any position? If you do not want to use a macro, could you use (Ctrl+h find and replace)?

    Regards
    Alastair

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    you might be able to use =SUBSTITUTE() in another column/table. But without seeing some samples of what you are working with, your question is very vague
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: Creating Rules for a Table

    Say for instance a column in the table is "College Name." I need a rule that looks at the every cell in that column and when there is "Trident Tech CLG Palmer" change it to "Trident Technical College"

    The reason for this is because they are the same school, just can be listed as either of those two names on the service I am getting all of the student records from.
