Hi I have the following macro which was working but when I add it to a button I get an error message saying Ambiguous Name: Multi_FindReplace when I click the button to run the macro.

when I debug the row with orange text below is highlighted in yellow.

I would be grateful if you could please help.

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
It sounds as though you have two routines with the same name.

Thank you for quick you were correct I had a duplicate module, I have deleted that and now receive an error message saying out of range with the Worksheets(sheetlist(i)).Activate highlighted in yellow, do I need to rename this?

That means that your worksheet is not called "SF Export" - perhaps it has a leading or trailing space in its name.

Thank you Rory however I have just checked and they are the same, I am now getting no error message but no results are being returned.

Having now looked through the rest of your code, it doesn't actually do anything other than set some variables repeatedly, nor is it clear to me what it is supposed to do, I'm afraid.

Ah I see! I have a sheet of data then I need to convert from text to numeric as follows
if the the country of birth was Afghanistan then change this to 4 or if the country of birth was the Uk then change this to 826 also if Female is in the gender field his should be changed to the number 2.I then have a secondary macro which pulls this data to the desired column in a second sheet.
I is really a find and replace but I have obviously done something wrong.

No, it's just assigning an array to a variable, not actually doing anything with it.

I'd suggest you add a new routine like this (untested):

Rich (BB code):
Sub ReplaceItems(rg as Range, originalData, newData)
dim n as long
for n = lbound(originalData) to ubound(originalData)
rg.Replace originalData(n), newData(n), xlWhole
next n
end sub

and then amend your code to add a call to that between each assignment pair like this:

Rich (BB code):
                fndList = Array("Afghanistan", "Aland Islands", "Albania", "Algeria", "American Samoa", "Andorra", "Angola", "Anguilla", "Antarctica", "Antigua and Barbuda")
                rplcList = Array("4", "248", "8", "12", "16", "20", "24", "660", "10", "28")
Call ReplaceItems(findrng, fndList, rplcList)

and repeat that blue line after each change in the lists.
