I receive a file each month where I need to do a find and replace on two columns.
I highlight both columns and find and replace
find "_GUAR" replace all with nothing
find"," replace all with a space
find "HEALTHMART" replace all with HM
find "HEALTH MART" replace all with HM

Here's what the data looks like when I receive it (before I do the above operations)

After I do the above listed operations, the data looks like the below.

136GPR BPR HMBPR

At this point, I need to put each cell in alphabetical order and no repeats (not sort the entire column, but the cell, so basically row 269 has GPR BPR BPR and it needs to be BPR GPR), so that ultimately I can add a column with an IF formula that would look at each row and if the two columns match it would say "All Passed")
Here's what final data should look like

440GPR HMGPR
451GPR HMGPR
467 HM HM

A couple of notes:
The column headers will never change and it will always be column BG and BH
The number of rows does change each month
'#' no action for this, I later just delete this and the cell will be blank
Some months, the Missed Criteria will also have "GCR" which I'd like to put in alphabetical order, so it'd be great if the code allowed for this. Example Missed Criteria column has BPR GPR HM GCR should be BPR GCR GPR HM

Thank you in advance
 
The most time is consumed by using the Replace function on the sheet. I use the replace function but in memory.
Now the execution is immediate:

VBA Code:
Sub replace_on_two_columns_2()
  Dim a As Variant
  Dim i As Long
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  With ActiveSheet.Range("BG2:BH" & ActiveSheet.Range("BG" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row)
    a = .Value
      ReDim b(1 To UBound(a, 1), 1 To 2)
      For i = 1 To UBound(a)
        If a(i, 1) <> "" Then
          b(i, 1) = finaldata_2(replacedata(a(i, 1)))
        End If
        If a(i, 2) <> "" Then
          b(i, 2) = finaldata_2(replacedata(a(i, 2)))
        End If
      Next
    .Value = b
  End With
End Sub

Function replacedata(data)
  data = Replace(Replace(data, "_GUAR", "", , , vbTextCompare), ",", " ")
  data = Replace(data, "HEALTHMART", "HM", , , vbTextCompare)
  replacedata = Replace(data, "HEALTH MART", "HM", , , vbTextCompare)
End Function

Function finaldata_2(data)
  Dim a As Variant, itm As Variant
  Dim valores As New Collection
  Dim bex As Boolean
  Dim i As Long

  For Each itm In Split(data, " ")
    bex = False
    For i = 1 To valores.Count
      Select Case StrComp(valores(i), itm, vbTextCompare)
        Case 0
          bex = True
          Exit For
        Case 1
          bex = True
          valores.Add itm, itm, Before:=i
          Exit For
      End Select
    Next
    If bex = False Then valores.Add itm, itm
  Next
  ReDim a(1 To valores.Count)
  For i = 1 To valores.Count
    a(i) = valores(i)
  Next
  finaldata_2 = Join(a, " ")
End Function
You are my hero. I can't thank you enough!
