I'm fairly new to VBA (as in this is my first attempt with it) and am working on a macro to find and replace a large set of numbers with slightly modified numbers in a spreadsheet named "AA SERIES". I'm storing these in a spreadsheet named "PartNumbers", with the existing ones in column I and the replacements in J. The code shown below works fine for this:
Sub Macro1()
Dim i As Integer
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim FindStr As String
Dim RepStr As String
For i = 1 To 87
For Each WS In Workbooks("AA SERIES").Worksheets
FindStr = Workbooks("PartNumbers").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("I" & i).Value
RepStr = Workbooks("PartNumbers").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("J" & i).Value
Cells.Replace What:=FindStr, Replacement:=RepStr
Next
Next i
End Sub
However, what I'd like it to do is also format the entire column a different color (ideally light purple) if the macro replaces a value in it. The goal is that the next person to work with this sheet will be able to quickly scroll through and see where the changes are.
Any suggestions?
I think this is what you are looking for:

Cant verify it at the moment... but I think it works like this:
Application.ReplaceFormat.Interior.Color = RGB(200, 150, 200)
Cells.Replace What:=FindStr, Replacement:=RepStr, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=True
EDIT
To color the entire column, you have to search for the lightpurple colored cells and apply the color change for the entirecolumn of each found cell
Application.FindFormat.Interior.Color = RGB(200, 150, 200)
Cells.Find(SearchFormat:=True).EntireColumn.Interior.Color = RGB(200, 151, 200)
'slightly changed colorcode to avoid endless loop, if you want to loop through all changed cells
To expand on the previous answer:
Option Explicit
Sub replace1()
Const ENTIRE_COLUMN As Byte = 0 'Change to 1 to color the entire columns
Dim i As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim findStr As String
Dim repStr As String
Dim lPurple As Long
Dim found As Range
Dim first As String
lPurple = RGB(244, 233, 255)
Application.ReplaceFormat.Interior.Color = lPurple
For Each ws In Workbooks("AA SERIES").Worksheets
For i = 1 To 9
With Workbooks("PartNumbers").Sheets("Sheet1")
findStr = .Range("I" & i).Value
repStr = .Range("J" & i).Value
ws.UsedRange.Replace What:=findStr, _
Replacement:=repStr, _
ReplaceFormat:=True
If ENTIRE_COLUMN = 1 Then
With ws.UsedRange
Set found = .Find(What:=repStr, SearchOrder:=xlByRows)
If Not found Is Nothing Then
first = found.Address
Do
If found.Offset(1).Interior.Color <> lPurple Then
.Columns(found.Column).Interior.Color = lPurple
End If
Set found = .FindNext(found)
Loop While Not found Is Nothing And found.Address <> first
End If
End With
End If
End With
Next
Next
End Sub
