Change the value of a cell based on another cell then delete it using a macro in an excel report
It is not usual but it is already happened that I need to find first a specific value in a column, once I found it, in another column, I need to change the value of the cell corresponding to this specific value then I need to delete this specific value. I don’t delete the row, just the cell so I needed a macro to do that each month.
When I use the macro ?
To replace the value of a cell based of a value of another cell then to delete this another cell value.
How to create the macro ?

Copy the code below and paste it into your macro. You will see my comments in green if exist so follow the help to adapt to your need.
Sub test() ' change 20 by the number of rows to check For i = 2 To 20 ' change B by the column letter of the word to search and change next month by what you want ' change A by the column letter where you want to have the new value and change in the futur by what you want If Range("B" & i).Value = "next month" Then _ Range("A" & i).Value = "in the futur" Next i ' put the same column letter of the word to search and the word you changed for next month Range("B:B").Replace "next month", "" End Sub
