I have this block of cells in my spreadhseet numerous times.

HeadMar
WifeMar

<colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

Is there any way I can replace it with

HeadMar
Wife

<colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

Without deleting each one individually?
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Try this:

Assuming we are dealing with column A and B
Code:
Sub Test()
'Modified 2-19-18 2:55 AM EST
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long
Dim Lastrow As Long
Lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 1 To Lastrow
        If Cells(i, 1).Value = "Wife" Then Cells(i, 2).Value = ""
    Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Thanks.

It's actually columns E & F, so I guess I replace (Rows.Count, "A") with (Rows.Count, "E")
