I have a spreadsheet with column headers of Skills and row headers of Employees. Where an employee is trained on a given skill, the cell has the training date. All this data is exported from Access. This spreadsheet just needs the fact that they were trained in a given skill, not the training date. To conserve space, I want to change all the training dates to an X and narrow the columns. How would I make a search for all the dates and replace them with an X?

This is in Excel 2007.

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
