In this lesson, we are going to learn how to use the Find and Replace features in Excel 2016 to quickly locate and update data in your workbook. You’ll discover how the Find tool helps you search for specific words, numbers, or phrases within your spreadsheet. This feature is especially helpful when working with large sets of data.

You’ll learn how to use the Replace function to make changes to repeated content, such as correcting spelling errors or updating names. We’ll go through each step, including reviewing matches and choosing whether to replace individual instances or all at once. Using Replace carefully helps prevent unintended changes to important data.

Lastly, you’ll explore how to access advanced search options for more precise results and learn keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+F to quickly open the Find dialog box. We’ll also discuss the risks of using the Replace All function and why it should only be used when you’re sure it won’t affect unrelated content. Mastering Find and Replace can save you time and improve the accuracy of your work.
