Hello
Hopefully someone will be able to help

I have a worksheet and i need some <acronym title="visual basic for applications" style="border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-top-style: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-left-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-color: initial; border-image: initial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; cursor: help; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">vba</acronym> code that will do the following:
If cell value in column B = X
And the next cell
value in column B = Y or Z,
then replace Y with XY and Z with XZ

And
If cell value in column B = XY or XZ
And the next cell
value in column B = X or Z,
then replace Y with XY and Z with XZ

otherwise do nothing

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 150, align: left"]

I'm not sure this needs an "expert" as it's a fairly simple exercise. Not sure about the casing of your text (X or x?) so this should deal with both.

Code:
Public Sub XYZ()

Dim lastRow As Long
Dim thisRow As Long
Dim lastValue
Dim thisValue

lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
lastValue = LCase(Range("B1").Value)
For thisRow = 2 To lastRow
    thisValue = LCase(Cells(thisRow, "B").Value)
    If (thisValue = "y" Or thisValue = "z") And (lastValue = "x" Or lastValue = "xy" Or lastValue = "xz") Then
        Cells(thisRow, "B").Value = IIf(Cells(thisRow, "B").Value > "x", "x", "X") & Cells(thisRow, "B").Value
    End If
    lastValue = LCase(Cells(thisRow, "B").Value)
Next thisRow

End Sub
