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

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
It works for me. Do you get an error, or does it just not do anything?

What data is in "A1:A5"?
