mass cell data editing

G

George B.

Hello, I have many cells containing the same data. I would like to change a
letter or number in all of them at the same time instead of clicking on each
cell and editing one cell at a time. Please see below for example:
I have;
A B C
1 AB1 AB1 AB1
2 AB1 AB1 AB1
3 AB1 AB1 AB1

I want to change all cell data of "AB1" to "AX1". I now have to click on
each cell and manually edit.

How can I select all cells above, ie., A1 thru C3 and change all "AB1" cell
data to "AX1" all at the same time? Below is what I would like to end up
with.

A B C
1 AX1 AX1 AX1
2 AX1 AX1 AX1
3 AX1 AX1 AX1

I appreciate any advice anyone can give me! This would really help.
Thank you in advance,
George B.

Select the entire range. From the Edit menu select Replace. In Find What type
AB1. In Replace With type AX1. Click on Replace All.
