Hi Paul,
In continuation with past codes you suggest,
I need to find as per excel if the very first value got repeated next time, or next as many times.
iF YES we get a message(in bold letters so that I dont have to use my glasses

) along with usual YES NO CANCEL
I tried a paint shop example to explain better to you, also we are using here post 17 program as suggested by you for this. i.e.
Code:
Sub BulkFindReplace()
Dim xlApp As Object, xlWkBk As Object, StrWkBkNm As String, Rslt
Dim iDataRow As Long, xlFList As String, xlRList As String, i As Long
Const StrWkSht As String = "Sheet1"
StrWkBkNm = "C:\Users\Username\Documents\Workbook Name.xls"
If Dir(StrWkBkNm) = "" Then
MsgBox "Cannot find the designated workbook: " & StrWkBkNm, vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
On Error Resume Next
'Start Excel
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
If xlApp Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Can't start Excel.", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
On Error GoTo 0
With xlApp
'Hide our Excel session
.Visible = False
' The file is available, so open it.
Set xlWkBk = .Workbooks.Open(FileName:=StrWkBkNm, ReadOnly:=True, AddToMru:=False)
If xlWkBk Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Cannot open:" & vbCr & StrWkBkNm, vbExclamation
.Quit
Exit Sub
End If
' Process the workbook.
With xlWkBk
'Ensure the worksheet exists
If SheetExists(xlWkBk, StrWkSht) = True Then
With .Worksheets(StrWkSht)
' Find the last-used row in column A.
iDataRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(-4162).Row ' -4162 = xlUp
' Capture the F/R data.
For i = 1 To iDataRow
' Skip over empty fields to preserve the underlying cell contents.
If Trim(.Range("A" & i)) <> vbNullString Then
xlFList = xlFList & "|" & Trim(.Range("A" & i))
xlRList = xlRList & "|" & Trim(.Range("B" & i))
End If
Next
End With
Else
MsgBox "Cannot find the designated worksheet: " & StrWkSht, vbExclamation
End If
.Close False
End With
.Quit
End With
' Release Excel object memory
Set xlWkBk = Nothing: Set xlApp = Nothing
'Exit if there are no data
If xlFList = "" Then Exit Sub
'Process each word from the List
For i = 1 To UBound(Split(xlFList, "|"))
With ActiveDocument.Range
With .Find
.Text = Split(xlFList, "|")(i)
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchCase = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Execute
End With
'Replace the found text, asking first
Do While .Find.Found
.Duplicate.Select
Rslt = MsgBox("Replace this instance of:" & vbCr & _
Split(xlFList, "|")(i) & vbCr & "with:" & vbCr & _
Split(xlRList, "|")(i), vbYesNoCancel)
If Rslt = vbCancel Then Exit Sub
If Rslt = vbYes Then .Text = Split(xlRList, "|")(i)
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
.Find.Execute
Loop
End With
Next
End Sub
Function SheetExists(xlWkBk As Object, SheetName As String) As Boolean
Dim i As Long: SheetExists = False
With xlWkBk
For i = 1 To .Sheets.Count
If .Sheets(i).Name = SheetName Then
SheetExists = True: Exit For
End If
Next
End With
End Function
If I get this it will help in find them and so that I will put another reference names to them.
Note: picture reads as Replace this instance of: John 98 with 23 se 34............(Repeated value) i.e find value John 98 is repeated here, that is why message should say (Repeated value)
Thanks to my son who takes much interest in your code,
Nancy
