Is there a faster way to update a big list with a criteria thank using Find and Replace?
Depending on your criteria, Find And Replace is fairly quick when you use REPLACE ALL.
The next step would be to move the data into MS Access, and use an ACTION QUERY to UPDATE the fields and data based on more complex criteria.

If you have lots of data in a spreadsheet, you may find that it is easier to read if you highlight some of the values. This is Conditional Formatting and here's how to use it:
1) Select the data you wish to apply the format to and click Conditional Formatting
2) A list of options will then appear, from this list, choose the format you wish to display e.g. find all cells with a value less than 0
3) Excel will then highlight all of these cells
To remove this: select the highlighted cells, click the drop down on the Conditional Formatting icon and select Clear Rules from selected cells.
