Replacement of resource assignments is a common task, maybe you have a functionality specific for this task, same as other software.
In the following screen the activity rows are grouped by resource assignment, you can easily select all or a group. You can create multiple WBS dictionaries for this table to make it easier to select as resource allocation is usually independent of standard fields and a filter based on standard fields might be very difficult if not impossible to apply. Of course using a marker for hundreds of activities on a user defined field can make it possible for you to create the filter.
Look on your resource usage/assignment table, we tend to forget how useful these other tables are.
Changing by hand a resource for a resource is not that difficult on small job but changing a multi-resource or crew for another can be tricky, not to mention changing a resource skill for another. Here the software functionality shines even on small jobs.
Dear,
When it's already exported in excel, try to proceed with the change by filtering in excel the resource that you want to change,and change the name accordingly by replacing the old resource name by the new name.
Hope it helps,
Joseph

Why dont you try the easiest way? Filter all Activities you want to replace the resources --> Select all --> Open window "Assign resources" (icon on the right border of the Primavera Window) --> replace by --> youll be guided.
Export to Excel: Did you try your filter with a layout? I never experienced this error.
Good luck!
