I am a beginner at Excel VBA. I just wanna know what code I am going to use for changing the value of the selected column if found duplicate. For example, I want to create a code that changes the duplicates found from their original name to their original name + "_01" (or something similar). It is important that the code changes duplicates in the original row - not copying the row and pasting the result into some other column. I have tried different IF and countIF functions but have yet to succeed in VBA.

My range will be (A1:A100)


Example:

Row ARow A
aaaa
cccc
dddd
xxxx
ssss
eeee
ffff
rrrr
qqqq
aaaa_01
cccc_01
zzzz
ssss_01
zzzz_01

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Try this code...
VBA Code:
Sub FindandReplace()
    Dim cell As Range
    With Worksheets("Sheet1")
        With .Range("A1", .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
            For Each cell In .Cells
                    cell.Value = cell.Value & "_" & WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Parent.Range(.Cells(1), cell), cell.Value & "_*")
            Next
            .Replace what:="_0", replacement:="", lookat:=xlPart
        End With
    End With
End Sub
