RE: find option

Hi Mikel

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

The Find feature gets Excel to search through a spreadsheet for any occurrences of whatever you ask it to find. The advantage of it is that it allows you to find something quickly in a spreadsheet rather than having to hunt through a spreadsheet yourself.

For example, if you have a list of sales and you want to locate a sale to a particular company, you can use the Find feature to get Excel to search for the name of that company.

You could do this by going to Edit - Find and type the name of the company you are looking for and then click the Find Next button to get Excel to locate what you are looking for. Excel will highlight the next cell that contains this word.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Select only cell that contain text to lock format

For selecting cells that only contain Text in Excel

By selecting cells that only contain text, you can delete, fill or protect cells of this type.

Use short cut to Go to box (F5) or Edit, Go to
In the dialog box, click special button & select Constants and only check text or any other desired type.

Click OK.

And text cells will all be highlighted for you to apply format. Please note only works on one sheet at a time.
