Good morning,

Is there any way to skip part of a macro? I'm trying to build a macro that will transfer information from an old update form to a new one but I'm facing a couple inconsistency's.

I used a Find & Replace to update a cell to make a VLOOKUP work on another tab, however, I'm noticing that not all workbooks require the Find & Replace.

So my question is, if the word I'm trying to update is already updated, how do I skip passed the Find & Replace? I tried doing an If, Then, Else but I keep getting a debug error: "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument".

I've put the part of my code below but any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
VBA Code:
If Cells("A7") = "U/T" Then
    Columns("A:A").Select
    ActiveCell.Replace What:="U/T", Replacement:="Technician", _
        LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:= _
        False, ReplaceFormat:=False, FormulaVersion:=xlReplaceFormula2
    Selection.Find(What:="U/T", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas2, _
        LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
        MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
    ActiveCell.Replace What:="U/T", Replacement:="Technician", _
        LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:= _
        False, ReplaceFormat:=False, FormulaVersion:=xlReplaceFormula2
        
Else
End If

'Select New GroupUpdateForm
    Sheets(2).Select

Cheers.
