Hello,
The problem I'm having is that I have a column (Column B) of about 30 different tests that are supposed to only be categorized as numbers...... however there has been a lot of mislabeling in my data sample. I provided a small example of what I mean in the table above. What I would like the Macro to do is filter the column so if it sees (For Example) "water pressure test" or "873---Water Test" It will replace it with just "873". I have a lot of different tests so a find and replace would take too long and I would have to continually redo it every time I update the data (weekly basis). I would like to write one big macro so I never have to do that again. THANK YOU!!!!
