Hello,
I am using a macro to find & replace, but it work only when the cell has the value itself. I need the replace when he value contains in the cell, e.g.
My knowledge in vba is almost null, please help me


1a = X


A1 |A1
1atext should look like after replacement |Xtext
1b
text ----> |Xtext
1ctext |Xtext



Code:
Sub multisubstituir()On Error Resume Next
    Dim myList, myRange
    Set myList = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select the modifications (2 columns)", _
    Title:="Tabela das Substituições", Type:=8)
    Set myRange = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select the cells to replace", _
    Title:="Área a Substituir", Type:=8)
    For Each cel In myList.Columns(1).Cells
        myRange.Replace What:=cel.Value, _
        replacement:=cel.Offset(0, 1).Value, LookAt:=xlWhole
    Next cel
End Sub

Thanks :):)

edit: holy I messed everything up
1a = X
1b = Y
1c = Z

A1
1atext
1btext
1ctext
After replacement...

A1
Xtext
Ytext
Ztext

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Whilst I don't understand what you are trying to do, try changing this
Code:
LookAt:=xlWhole
to
Code:
LookAt:=xlPart
