When there are same data in your comments in Excel, and now you want to replace them with other same contents, you must replace them one by one manually. If there are hundreds of comments needed to be replaced in a worksheet or the whole workbook, this job will be tedious. But the Find/Replace Comment Text function of Kutools for Excel can find and replace the data at one time.
