Substitute Nesting Limit Reached (Nested 64 Substitute Formulas)

Hi, I've been trying to find an alternative to the substitute function where im not limited to the 64 limit nesting rule. At the moment my current forumla has hit the cap. I've tried using vlookup with a table but it doesn't give me the same desired result.

What the forumla does is this, in one coloumn I have a bunch of text that isn't formatted properly and by using the proper function it puts all the text in the proper case format but I need certain words in uppercase or lowercase, hence the need for the substitute formula. Now in the adjacent column to the text I have the below formula and it would make the necessary corrections for me and would output the full string as I pasted it in.

The list of words that would need changing would grow over time which is why i've already hit the 64 formula nesting limit. I tried the table method as that would have been easier to add to later on. I haven't really done any UDF stuff so I don't really know where to start with it.

Example Data:

Column A Column B

Original Formula:

=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(PROPER(B7), "Ul>", "ul>"), "P>", "p>"), "From", "from"), " The ", " the "), " And ", " and "), " To ", " to "), " A ", " a "), " Is ", " is "), " As ", " as "), "Li>", "li>"), "Cm", "cm"), "Mm", "mm"), "Led", "LED"), "Of", "of"), " Or ", " or "), "&Nbsp;", ""), "Kg", "kg"), "Vesa", "VESA"), "Lcd", "LCD"), " X ", " x "), "Tv", "TV"), "At ", "at "),"Dc", "DC"), "Ac ", "AC "), "Usb", "USB"), "Fm", "FM"), " Dab ", " DAB "),"> ",">")," <","<"),"> ",">")," <","<"),"> ",">")," <","<"),"> ",">")," <","<"),"> ",">")," <", "<"),"> ",">"),"> ",">")," <","<"),"> ",">")," <","<"),"> ",">")," <","<"),"> ",">")," <","<"),"> ",">")," <", "<"),"> ",">"),"&Amp;", "&"),"Center", "Centre"),"Color", "Colour"), "Aluminum", "Aluminium"),"'S ", "'s "),"Mdf", "MDF"),"Strong>", "strong>"),"Gsm", "GSM"),"&Deg;", "°"),"&Ndash;", "–"),"Ltr", "ltr"), "Cc", "cc"),"Hp", "hp"),"Rpm", "RPM"))


Any help would be much appreciated, Im not sure how to attach spreadsheets (is possible) so apologies if the post is a little messy.


Thanks in advance

record a find / replace macro and then replicate, make sure you replace double space to single space first and that might fix your < and > issues. substitute will only effect what you see it won't make real changes. You should also for the PROPER conversion first and then clean the text string without it

Thanks for the reply and suggestion, i've tried it using a macro but it's messy as there are a lot of search parameters,

Is there a cleaner way of doing this?

post your macro between code tags. CASE might be another way to go but I don't think so for this

Not sure why my previous posts haven't appeared, in any case, i've more or less figured it out,

Only issue i'm having with the macro is, I have to click in the cell above where it will give me the text each time. Is there anyway to get the macro to output in those cells without having to click into a particular cell?

e.g. Text is in A2, and it would output in B2, I'd have to click in B1 each time.

Is it possible to have the macro always output into B2 regardless of what cell is selected? Or preferable automate it?


Thanks again!

Here is a variation that you could try to adapt to your circumstances.
In 'Sheet2' I have entered a (small) list of replacements, including the leading/trailing spaces, and turned it into a formal Excel Table. This way new replacements are easy to add and will automatically get picked up by the code.

Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit
A​
B​
1​
OldNew
2​
Fromfrom
3​
 The the
4​
 And and
5​
 To to
6​
 A a
7​
 Is is
8​
 As as
9​
Cmcm
10​
Mmmm
11​
 Or or
12​
Kgkg
13​
Sheet: Sheet2



In 'Sheet1' I have the raw, badly formatted text in column B, starting in row 2. My code to reformat that 'Sheet1' text is as follows. Is that something you can work with?

Code: 
Sub FixFormatting()
  Dim a As Variant
  Dim i As Long
  
  a = Sheets("Sheet2").ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange.Value
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  With Sheets("Sheet1")
    With .Range("B2", .Range("B" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      .Value = Evaluate(Replace("if(len(#),proper(#),"""")", "#", .Address))
      For i = 1 To UBound(a)
        .Replace What:=a(i, 1), Replacement:=a(i, 2), LookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=True
      Next i
    End With
  End With
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Hi and thanks, that's a massive help.

I've tried the code but I can't seem to get it to work.

I've typed text into column b but nothing happens, how do I run it? I keep getting an error.

are you using sheet2 with the lookups, and sheet1 for your data to change, what is the error message
 
Upvote 0
I get a runtime error 9

Subscript out of range:

I've got my incorrect text in B2 down in sheet 1 and i've got sheet 2 with the lookups. With Old and New in A1 and B1 and then the words below those.

When i go to debug it highlights this line:

a = Sheets("Sheet2").ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange.Value


Thanks

Thanks I was able to get this to work. My fault, forgot to make a formal table in excel.

How do I get that code to show the new value in D2 instead of just updating the value in B2?


Thanks Again
