    Re: how to edit multiple cells in a column

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    You already have a bunch of "-" in each cell. Exactly where do you want to put this? You could probably do this with Find/Replace, using some selective "finds". Something like....
    Find 101
    replace -101
    or maybe
    Find ETLH
    Replace ET-LH
    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
