Find Or Replace Text For Mac Excel

Posted on  by

The problem is that the find and replace function is replacing the entire cell contents, not the string of text specified in find and replace. In 30 mins I need to find and replace text in an excel spreadsheet base on content variables. Use the Find and Replace features in Excel to search for something in your workbook, such as a particular number or text string. You can either locate the se. Within your Excel worksheet press CTRL + H from your keyboard. This will open the dialog box of Find and Replace. After that, type the text within the box of Find What box which you require to replace. Within the box of Replace with, just type the text which you need to replace with the original one.

For some reason, Excel won't allow me to paste into the find or replace dialog. This is more than a little inconvenient. Am I missing something? Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix or workaround?

TIA!
