FAQ

Why can’t I find content that is clearly in the sheet?

  1. Check whether the entered content includes spaces, case differences, or full-width and half-width character differences.
  2. Open Options and confirm whether Match case or Match entire cell contents is enabled.
  3. If the content may be on another worksheet, switch the scope to Workbook and search again.

How do I search across multiple worksheets at the same time?

  1. Open the Find dialog.
  2. Click Options to expand advanced settings.
  3. Change the search scope from Worksheet to Workbook.
  4. Run Find Next or Find All again.

What should I check before using Replace All?

  1. Confirm that both the Find and Replace with entries are correct.
  2. Check whether the current scope is set to the worksheet or the workbook.
  3. If the spreadsheet is important, save a copy before using Replace All.
  4. Review key cells after the replacement to confirm the result.

When should I use advanced search options?

  1. If normal search returns too many results, use case-sensitive or entire-cell matching to narrow the scope.
  2. If you need to check multiple worksheets, switch to workbook search.
  3. If the target content has a consistent format, combine the search with format conditions for more precise results.
