Hey Excellers. Today I will show you how to use the Find and Replace in Excel. Specifically to replace exactly only the values you need to. This blog post is in response to a question a colleague asked last week. They needed to find all cells that contained zero and replace them with a blank without affecting the zeros appearing in other cells. For example 100, or 1000. Only the cells that contained ONLY 0 needed to be replaced. The solution is really simple, as long as you know which option to take to replace only the specific values you want to.
Using Find and Replace.
- Open the Find & Replace by Hitting Ctrl+ F or Home Tab | Editing Group | Find & Replace.
- Select the Replace Tab.
- Type the value you want to find. In this example, it is 0.
- In the Replace box leave blank.
- Select the Options, button, ensure that ‘Match entire cell contents’ is ticked.
- Hit Ok.
- Only the cells containing ONLY 0 will be affected. Cells with any other content containing zeros will not be updated.
Job Done!. have you used this Find and Replace options before?.
