Hi,
Can someone help me with a batch search replace script?

I get a fixed a list of names in column A every month. I have a fixed list of 100 people but each month, the amount of people reporting is different.

Chris Dean
John farmer
Tony Smith

I need to batch search and replace these names so that I end up with

JPY<NC>80<NC>Chris Dean
USD<NC>5<NC>John farmer
EUR<NC>6<NC>Tony Smith

This is the person's hourly rate. NC just means nnew column.

So after the batch search and repalce I end up with Name in column C, amount in column B and currency in Column A.

Thanks for your help.

Rich

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
do you have a table somewhere so you can look up Chris Dean and obtain JPY and 80 ?

if so put JPY in col B 80 in col C make col D = col A then use a macro to copy columns A to D, paste special values and delete column A

glad to help - and to put a new arrow in your quiver - just remember to put first column into ascending order - if this is not possible then offset match can be used
