I am trying to get the code to search for the replacement criteria and then loop a replacement sub until there are no more replacement criteria. The main reason I am doing it like this is the active cell reference is important for what the criteria is being replaced with. The main issue is my "acell" range is not finding anything and being set as nothing even though the criteria is in the sheet and I can't tell why (or I am not understanding the function correctly). If anything else looks off any help would be appreciated here.

VBA Code:
Sub looptest()

'trying to have the relpace sequence one cell at a time

Dim acell As Range
Dim cellAddress As Range


    With Sheets("Template").Range("AA:Z")
        
        Set acell = .Find(What:="Replace", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
                MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
        If Not acell Is Nothing Then
            cellAddress = acell.Address
            Do
            'Have it select the cell it found the "replace" on and then call replacement sub then loop the process until no more replacement criteria are found
            
            cellAddress.Select
            replacement
            Set acell = .FindNext(acell)
            Loop While Not acell Is Nothing
        End If
    End With

End Sub

VBA Code:
Sub replacement()

'houses the logic to run the replacement sequence

    Dim strRef As String
    Dim LD As String

    Let strRef = ActiveCell.Address
    Let LD = Workbooks("test.xlsm").Sheets("test sheet").Range("M45")


    Selection.Replace What:="Replace", replacement:="='[test.xlsm]MSRP'!" & strRef & "*(1-" & LD & ")", LookAt:=xlPart, _
    SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
    ReplaceFormat:=False

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
