I already fixed it 5 minutes after I made the mistake. That didn't help.



And there would be no way to search every single entry to see if one slipped by. I have 1,500 entries.

I doubt there's one earlier on in my work b/c the auto suggest always capped the C before, so I know it only started on that one mistake.

Did you try the CTRL + F replace feature it will fix any of those 1500 entries with 1 click in a matter of seconds. Try this first and see if it finds the one that was missed or at least lets Excel know what you want CJ in the list to look like. One more thing for ease select the column you need to modify before doing the replace. If this still is not sufficient post the workbook for additional assistance.

You can't find & replace the same spelling of a word. It doesn't work like that.

In case you didn't understand what I wrote, I'm trying to get the auto suggest to change from

cJ

to

CJ

So I tried it your way even though I knew it wouldn't work & I was correct, all it does is find all the ones that are spelled correctly.

Thanks


Michelle

Unless I've misunderstood what's going on, I think you can do that after all, eph2002. You're saying that when using <Ctrl-F> you ask for "cJ" and it finds "CJ" (right?). But if you expand the options you'll find a match-case feature; check that and you can tell Excel to find only lower-case 'c', upper-case 'J'.

Thanks Bob,

I am not sure why my last post frustrated this user so much but I do not consider anything above "My Way" I would be happy to help with this further if ep2002 could post a sample worksheet. I apologize if this sounds rude this is not my intention at all.
