    VBA to find and replace arrays in specific columns

    Hello,

    I have two arrays. One is the "Find" array, the other is the "replace" array. They are replacing values in specific columns on another sheet in the same workbook. Both these arrays are driven by formulas. I have a super long program written that goes through and replaces each value in each specific column, but it keeps failing. Can anyone help with the code for this? I have a hunch my original code would be useless, so I haven't included it. I've posted the table with the find and replace arrays, and the specific columns they will be finding and replacing on in the other sheet.

    Thank you in advance.

    I assume your find/replace list is not on the same sheet as the one where the values are replaced?

    Correct, they are on two separate sheets

    Re: VBA to find and replace arrays in specific columns

    It appears to work perfectly. Thank you so much!

    Last question, if I wanted it to loop through multiple sheets in the same workbook, would I just need to add a "For each worksheet in workbook" function, or would it be something else?

    Re: VBA to find and replace arrays in specific columns

    How exactly you implement that will depend on whether it is all sheets (except the one with find/replace list) or just a few. But yes, in essence it would be a for ... each loop. If you give me the details I can add that to the code, unless you are up to the task yourself of course

    Re: VBA to find and replace arrays in specific columns

    So this was my solution, doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

    Dim wsr As Worksheet
    Dim wss As Worksheet
    Dim wsSheet As Worksheet
    Dim i As Long, r As Long


    Set wss = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Weeks")
    Set wsr = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Maria & Enzo's Working Tab")
    Set wsi = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("wksInput")
    lr = wss.Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    For Each wsSheet In Worksheets
    If wsSheet.Name <> "wksInput" Or wsSheet.Name <> "Weeks" Then
    For i = 2 To lr
    wsr.Columns(wss.Range("F" & i).Value).Replace what:=wss.Range("G" & i).Value, replacement:=wss.Range("H" & i).Value, lookat:=xlPart
    Next i
    End If
    Next wsSheet

    Re: VBA to find and replace arrays in specific columns

    I just need the code to loop through every sheet but I know my solution is wrong. If I got the code to loop, I could modify it to my needs. Thanks again.

    Re: VBA to find and replace arrays in specific columns

    Please use code tags when posting code (highlight what is code, and click the # icon)

    Do you want to loop through ALL sheets in the workbook? Or you want to just do the replace in 2 sheets out of many? "For Each wsSheet In Worksheets" loops through them all.

    Just to confirm... you have 2 sheets that contain "find and replace" lists? Or you want to replace values in 2 sheets based on just one list? (ideally tell me what each of the 3 names is in terms of "to replace" or "list")

    If you have 2 sheets with find and replace values, are their columns set up the same?

    Re: VBA to find and replace arrays in specific columns

    I haven't posted loop code just because how to structure it depends a bit on my questions above. Let me know, and I'll post updated code
