    Find value with multiple variables and change value in other column

    Please see attached example book.

    In it I want to change name "G" in column A to "X" in column C.
    And I want to do it for month of May in column B.

    So a match won't do the trick because Name G is in 3 times so it should match on G and May from columns A and B.

    How to catch this in a simple VBA line?
    Thanks!

    Sometimes its best to start at the beginning and learn VBA & Excel.

    Hmm yeah that could be a fairly simple solution which I did not think of.

    But can it not be done via a match or find on the ranges?
    I can make the loop but trying to avoid looping thru all lines.
    The example has not that many lines but the real workbook could contain a lot of lines in the end.

    No, cause you're doing a find and replace, match will just do the find, and you need to match 2 columns, you could have column c hidden and do it with an IF formula.

    You could do it with find on column B for May, then column A for G, then do the neccessary, then do the find again from the previous found cell.
