    Check if a string begins with substring and then change text

    Hello Guys,

    I am working on a spreadsheet which contain supplier names. The names are manually entered, so there is a lot of representation for a given name.

    Eg) Delta, Delta electronics, Deltaelectronics, Delta, Inc., all mean the same.

    I am trying to write a macro which would check for the first word, like if the text starts with Delta, it should change that cell value into Delta, Inc - which is the standardized name of the supplier.

    Kindly help me out.

    Thanks,
    booo

    This is how I would do that, based on you simply creating a two-column search/replace table:
