Enter '1' in the Search for window and 'yes' in the Replace with window.Ĭalc replaces all uses of the digit '1' with the word 'yes' without any further prompting.(Note that the dialog box stays open until you choose Close.) If you closed the Find & Replace dialog following the last activity, select Edit > Find & Replace.You think to yourself, "I want to change all of the instances of the number '1' to be 'yes' in this worksheet, so I can use Replace All." Let's try it out. Let's say that you want to change instances of the number '1' to the word 'yes'. Replace All replaces all occurrences of the item with the new entry without further prompting.Ĭontinuing with the worksheet used in the last activity.Replace gives you the option of changing each occurrence or not.The Replace command provides us with two methods of replacement. You can replace those with a character but keep in mind that OpenOffice limits paragraphs to 65536 characters and merging many paragraphs will cause unstable behavior. You can find the end of a paragraph by entering in the search for box and, under More Options, selecting regular expressions. If I find a model number from Column A, I want to replace just that model (leaving all other text in the cell alone) with the corresponding URL from Column B. The Replace command on the other hand is useful when we wish to change entries. Maybe I'm not understanding the question. I want to search Column C for the model numbers in Column A. The Find command simply locates occurrences of an item. Tip: Although cell contents can be formatted in different ways (for example, a number can be formatted as currency, to be displayed with a currency symbol), the formatting symbols (in the example, the currency symbol in the cell) are not searchable. Go to the sheet that includes the collection of autofilled rows from the previous activities. To just search for an item, leave the Replace window blank. One menu item Find & Replace satisfies both finding without replacement and finding with replacement. The search method depends on the type of data you are searching for. Calc can find cells that contain text or numbers that were entered directly as in a text document or result from a calculation. You can navigate from one result to the next, or you can highlight all matching cells at once, then apply another format or replace the cell contents by other content. In spreadsheet documents you can find text, formulas, and styles (we only mention styles here working with styles is outside the scope of this tutorial). So you need a quick way of locating information even in a single worksheet. In practice, spreadsheets are often quite large.
