I'm using the replace function to replace 0 with "!"

When doing this it affects any cell that contains this character, so if the value is 10 this becomes 1!

Is it possible to use this function in a way that the example I gave would not be affected? and only cells with meet the exact criteria are replaced

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.

Hit the "Options" button on the Replace dialog, and select the "Match entire cell contents" check box.
