find and replace
2 TopicsOffice 365 Excel 2016 - Find and replace window
Hi, I might be picky but in 2010 version, the Find and Replace window was much better developed. With 2016 version it seems to be "always on top" and I could not find any option to turn it off so it can disappear as soon as i click on the spreadsheet. Also it seems the text that is already there, it does not highlight at each call of the window. I do a lot of work in cross checking and replacing and it is proper annoying but as its company decision I cant go back to older(in my opinion better) version. Is there any fix? Why would always on top become a standard when the shortcut for it is very simple and convinient? Regards JakubSolved1.8KViews0likes4CommentsReplace when wild cards used
In excel, ? matches any single character, thus s?b could be used to find s1b, s2b, and so forth. Once the matching items are found, I would like to leave the value matched by the ? wild card unchanged, let's say, for example, I want s1b to be replaced by s1foo, s2b by s2foo, and so forth. I tried using s?foo as the replacement string, but that literally replaced the digit with the ? character rather than leaving it alone. Is there a character that indicates "no change" to what matched the wildcard?1.6KViews0likes2Comments
