Hello all,

I’m trying to create a macro, but am having some difficulties. I am looking to search a cell (“K2”) for the word Location. Once found I would like to replace that word with the contents located in cell “L2”. This sheet will have many rows and the information within column L will always different. I thought a find replace code would be sufficient, but couldn’t it to work when taking data from a different cell.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
