How is/are the macro(s) ?

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()
' replace table1 by your table name and 1 by the column number (i.e. A = 1, B = 2, etc.)
' replace xxx and yyy by your values
' remove ", LookAt:=xlWhole" if not matching exact word
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").ListColumns(1).DataBodyRange.Replace _
What:="xxx", replacement:="yyy", SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, LookAt:=xlWhole
End Sub

For other requirements (LookAt, MatchCase,etc.), check the Microsoft Range.Replace method to see all options.
