Any Excel Guru's out there that could provide me with a formula? I would like to replace all the text before the word "for" in cell B1 with the text string in A1. Cell A1 has proper casing and an added space after "Handle".

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
If the text before the for is exactly the same in each line as in your example:

=SUBSTITUTE(B1,LEFT(B1,FIND(" for ",B1)-2),A1)

Set the result cell to Wrap Text.
