Hi

In A1 to A5, there is a cell with a substring that I want to replace. I tried the below code but it doesn't work
Note that in A1 to A5, there are some empty cells or with text.

Thank you.



Sub test ()


Dim p as range

For Each p In Activesheet.Range("A1:A5")
p.Value = Replace(p.Value, "yyyy-yyyy", "St_Yr - End_Yr")
Next

End Sub

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
It works for me. Do you get an error, or does it just not do anything?

What data is in "A1:A5"?
