How to find and replace multiple values at once in Excel?

doc multiple find replace 1

As we all known, we can use Find and Replace function to find multiple same cell and replace them with a value as you need. But sometimes, you need to apply many-to-many replacement simultaneously. For example, I have a range of data, and now I want to replace all Apples to Red Apples, Oranges to Green Oranges, Bananas to Yellow Bananas and so on as following screenshots shown, do you have any good ideas to solve this task in Excel?

Dei uma modificada no código, e no meu caso, as referências de células são estáticas:

Sub MetodoReplace()

Dim rng As Range, xTitleId As String
Dim inputRng As Range, replaceRng As Range

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

xTitleId = "Metodo Replace"
Set inputRng = Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Offset(1, 0)
Set inputRng = Application.InputBox("Original range:", xTitleId, inputRng.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Address, _
Type:=8)
Set replaceRng = Application.InputBox("Reaplicar Range:", xTitleId, inputRng.Range("C2").CurrentRegion.Address, _
Type:=8)

For Each rng In replaceRng.Columns(1).Cells
inputRng.Replace What:=rng.Value, Replacement:=rng.Offset(0, 1).Value
Next

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Hallo,

ich würde gerne den Text in den Tabellen des Jahresabschlusses automatisch von Deutsch ins Englische übersetzen.
Dazu habe ich eine Excel Arbeitsmappe in welchem die Übersetzungstabelle "Ersatz" enthalten ist und in den folgenden Tabellenblättern die verschiedenen Tabellen wie zb. die Konzernbilanz, GuV, Geldflussrechnung etc.
Dazu habe ich ihren Code versucht zu transformieren. Die Übersetzung erfolgt im Grunde auch, aber zb. Vermögen - Assets; Finanzielle Vermögenswerte - Financial Assets wird nicht korrekt übersetzt, die Finanziellen Vermögenswerte übersetzt es als "Financial Assetswerte". auch in thousands EUR wir offensichtlich mit USA kombiniert.

Hier der Code (meine VBA Kenntnisse sind nur sehr minimalistisch):
Sub MultiFindNReplace2()
'Updateby Alex
Dim Rng As Range
Dim InputRng As Range, ReplaceRng As Range
Dim Ws As Worksheet

Set Ws = Worksheets("Konzernbilanz")
Set Ws = Worksheets("Konzerngesamtergebnis")
Set Ws = Worksheets("Konzerneigenkapitalspiegel")
Set Ws = Worksheets("Konzerngeldfluss")
Set InputRng = Ws.Range("D:Z")

Set Ws = Worksheets("Ersatz")
Set ReplaceRng = Ws.Range("A:B")

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Rng In ReplaceRng.Columns(1).Cells
InputRng.Replace what:=Rng.Value, replacement:=Rng.Offset(0, 1).Value
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Evtl. haben sie auch eine Idee wie ich dem Programm sagen kann, dass alle Tabellenblätter übersetzt werden müssen, außer natürlich die Tabelle "Ersatz".

Vielen Dank

Sg
Alex

Hello, Roman,
If you want to find and replace in multiple worksheets, the following VBA code may do you a favor.
Note: Sheet1, Sheet2 are the sheet names that you want to find and replace values from, please separate the sheet names by comma; A1:AA100is the original data range you want to replace the specific values.
Sub MultiFindNReplace()
'Updateby Extendoffice
Dim xArrSh()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim xStrRgAddress As String
Dim InputRng As Range, ReplaceRng As Range
Dim xCells As Range
Dim xWSHs As Sheets
Dim xWSh As Worksheet
xArrSh = Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2") 'The sheet names, please separate the sheet names by comma
xStrRgAddress = "A1:AA100" 'the original data range you want to replace
On Error Resume Next
xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
Set ReplaceRng = Application.InputBox("Replace Range :", xTitleId, Type:=8)
If ReplaceRng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Set xWSHs = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For xI = 0 To UBound(xArrSh)
Set xWSh = xWSHs(xArrSh(xI))
Set xCells = xWSh.Range(xStrRgAddress)
For Each Rng In ReplaceRng.Columns(1).Cells
    xCells.Replace what:=Rng.Value, replacement:=Rng.Offset(0, 1).Value
Next
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub


After inserting the code, run this code, and a prompt box will pop up, select the original data and new data you want to find and replace with. see screenshot:

Please try, hope it can help you!

exemplo:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 20 21 22 23 25
tenho esses números em uma linha
2 4 5 9 10 11 12 14 15 17 18 20 21 22 25
2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 16 17 18 20 22 23
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 14 15 16 21 22
2 3 4 7 8 10 11 13 14 15 17 20 22 23 25
2 3 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 16 18 20 21 23 25
2 5 6 7 8 9 11 12 13 15 17 18 21 22 23
3 4 6 7 9 11 12 14 15 16 17 18 20 23 25
2 3 4 6 7 8 9 13 14 16 17 18 21 22 25
3 5 6 10 13 14 15 16 17 18 20 21 22 23 25
2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 15 16 17 20 25
e esse grupo em outras porem preciso localizar e substituir e criar vinculo das células com seus respectivos números

Hello friend,

Sorry to hear that. Your situation is different from the example in the article. Our VBA code can only replace the original values with the value you define. It can't create a link between the cells with their respective numbers. Sorry for that. Have a nice day.

Sincerely,
Mandy

Bonjour,
merci pour votre support. Cela répond presque à mon besoin.Par contre, comment faire quand la même valeur se trouve dans "Origine value" et "Replacing value" car la valeur modifiée redevient la valeur d'origine ?Exemple : Origine value    ->    Replacing value
 
13h - 21h  ->  5h - 13h
8h - 16h   -> 10h - 18h
10h - 18h  ->  8h - 16h

Merci par avance pour votre aide
