I am trying to Find and Replace the combination of two letters, "OM". However, in this column there are also words such as "From" which I don't want to change. How can I match only "OM" while excluding everything else in the cells?

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK

When using the "Find and Replace" function, for your search term use " OM " with two spaces in there. This will only match that exact keyword.
