I would like to find and replace the selected cells on the active sheet. (selected by mouse before a run the macro)
On sheet2 i have a reference table column a is keyword column is replacement.

I found this macro but it replaces the whole active sheet.

Sub Macro1()
Dim i As Integer
Dim FindStr As String
Dim RepStr As String
For i = 1 To 2
FindStr = Sheet2.Range("A" & i).Value
RepStr = Sheet2.Range("B" & i).Value

Sheet1.Cells.Replace What:=FindStr, Replacement:=RepStr
Next i
End Sub

Thank you.

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Try...

Code:
Sub Macro1()
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim FindStr As String
    Dim RepStr As String
    Sheet1.Activate
    For i = 1 To 2
        FindStr = Sheet2.Range("A" & i).Value
        RepStr = Sheet2.Range("B" & i).Value
        ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Replace What:=FindStr, Replacement:=RepStr
    Next i
End Sub

Hope this helps!
