I have this macro to replace special characters in any sheet in my workbook.
It gets rid of these characters: ! @ # $ % ^ & () /
Sub Macro3()
Dim splChars As String
Dim ch As Variant
Dim splCharArray() As String
splChars = "! @ # $ % ^ & () /" splCharArray = Split(splChars, " ")
For Each ch In splCharArray
Cells.Replace What:="~" & ch, Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:= _
xlByRows, MatchCase:=True
Next ch
End Sub
I need a second macro which would do Cells.Find
for every cell in every worksheet then create a new sheet to list all cell addresses and special characters found.
On the web I found:
Public Sub SearchForText()
Dim rngSearchRange As Range
Dim vntTextToFind As Variant
Dim strFirstAddr As String
Dim lngMatches As Long
Dim rngFound As Range
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
vntTextToFind = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Enter text to find:", _
Default:="Search...", _
Type:=2 _
)
If VarType(vntTextToFind) = vbBoolean Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
Set rngSearchRange = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Enter range for search:", _
Default:=ActiveCell.Parent.UsedRange.Address, _
Type:=8 _
)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If rngSearchRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Set rngFound = rngSearchRange.Find( _
What:=CStr(vntTextToFind), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart _
)
If rngFound Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "No matches were found.", vbInformation
Else
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add
With .Range("A1:B1")
.Value = Array("Cell", "Value")
.Font.Bold = True
End With
strFirstAddr = rngFound.Address
Do
lngMatches = lngMatches + 1
.Cells(lngMatches + 1, "A").Value = rngFound.Parent.Name & "!" _
& rngFound.Address(0, 0)
.Cells(lngMatches + 1, "B").Value = rngFound.Value
Set rngFound = rngSearchRange.FindNext(rngFound)
Loop Until (rngFound.Address = strFirstAddr)
.Columns("A:B").AutoFit
End With
End If
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation
End Sub
This code works. My problem is, I need to set a range in which it searches every time and it can only be one sheet, so essentially if I have 10 sheets I need to run this macro 10 times to get the desired result.
I would like to search for each character in every worksheet of my workbook, then create a new sheet and return the address of every cell in an entire workbook which contains any of my declared characters.
I thought I could declare new variable ws as worksheet and loop through all worksheets with the same range selected using for each.
Try this. You just need another loop for the worksheets, and a loop for the Find.
This code doesn't do any replacing.
Sub Macro3()
Dim splChars As String
Dim ch As Variant
Dim splCharArray() As String
Dim r As Range, s As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
splChars = "! @ # $ % ^ & () /"
splCharArray = Split(splChars, " ")
Sheets.Add().Name = "Errors" 'to list characters and location
For Each ch In splCharArray
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Name <> "Errors" Then
Set r = ws.Cells.Find(What:=ch, Lookat:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
s = r.Address
Do
Sheets("Errors").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)(2) = ch 'character
Sheets("Errors").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)(2) = r.Address(external:=True)
Set r = ws.Cells.FindNext(r)
Loop Until r.Address = s 'loop until we are back to the first found cell
End If
End If
Next ws
Next ch
End Sub
