    Macro required to find text in a specified cell and replace it with text iin another cell

    Hi All


    I need a macro for Excel to do the following.


    Step 1: Look within a specified cell (i.e A1) and copy all the text in that cell (i.e it will find the text "dataSEARCH&REPLACE") which will be used as the text to search with in step 2.
    Step 2: Search within cell C1 (C1 contains various text) which will contain in one instance the text "dataSEARCH&REPLACE". The macro is to replace the text "dataSEARCH&REPLACE" with all the text stored within cell B1


    This is a simple idea, but unfortunately I have not been able to find the code already in the forums that can do this task?



    I look forward to your suggested code.


    Kind Regards
    David

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Hi, David,

    Search & Replace is available via Excel ShortCuts (CTRL+F is for Seach), you could record that action with the macro recorder to get the basic idea of what you need for code.

    Re: Macro required to find text in a specified cell and replace it with text in another ce

    Hello

    I need ideally a formula that can do the following;


    Example of the cell A3 tag 1FINDandREPLACE


    Step 1: Look within a specified cell (i.e cell A3) and copy the tag in that cell.
    Step 2: Search within cell B2 (B2 contains various text that includes the tags).
    The tag in cell B2 is then to be replaced with the content from cell B3.

    Step 3: Repeat steps 1 & 2 for tags A3 to A9 and MASTER HTML FILE B1 to L1 and more


    This is a simple idea, but unfortunately I have not been able to find the code already in the forums that can do this task?


    Attached is the problem in the excel file.


    I look forward to your suggested formula, or if a formula is not possible, a macro could be used and any suggestions on the macro code would be helpful.


    Kind Regards
    David
