Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Good day PPlanners,

Does APP v11 has the capability to find and replce text just like were doing it in excel. I can’t find this "magic button" anywhere in the APP window. If any one here in the planet can show me the right button," if it has one", I thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Bill

Hi Billy,

We have just developed an add on that does Find and Replace like Word/Excel. If you would like a copy to try out please email me at andrew.willard@astadev.com.

Hi Billy,

I haven’t been able to locate it either, however, you can fairly quickly highlight an entire column (or columns), copy to Excel, do the find/replace there and then copy back to APP. This only takes 1/2 min. longer than if the feature had been available in APP.

Regards,

Bo
