I have an excel sheet that has around 900 rows of data and I need to run through one of the columns and replace what that column has with a different value depending on what is currently in the column.

For example, say column F has these values entered:
Adj/Aviation & Transportation
Adj/Aviation & Transportation
Adj/Aviation & Transportation
Adj ESL Instructor
Adj/ESL
Adj/Aviation & Transportation
Professor/Aviation
Professor-Aviation
Associate Chair, Professor
Professor
Prof/Aviation & Transportation
Adjunct Professor
Professor
Professor
Adj/Aviation
Professor
Dir Master’s Prog/Assoc Prof
Chair/Assoc Prof/Aviation&TS
Adj Asst Prof/Aviation
Assistant Professor/Aviation
Adj.Asst. Prof-Aviation

I want to run through this column and if one of the cells contains the value “Aviation” I want to clear the content in that cell and enter “Aviation & Transportation” instead.

If anyone can show me how to accomplish this task that would mean the world!

    Actually, I have a better solution. You can use wildcards in the Find..Replace menu.

    Hit Ctrl F > Replace > Enter *Aviation* then write whatever you want to replace the cell value to. I tested it and it works. You can enable or disable case sensitivity.
