    Re: formulas to automatically find and replace data from specific columns

    I dont see the criteria for what get replaced by what?

    Walk me through how you would select state5 in B3?
    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

    thanks FDibbins... so if I type "state5" into B3 , it will find and add "Washington" from the H column.
