It can be hard and time consuming to find details while dealing with a lot of data in Excel. You can quickly browse your workbook using the Find feature, which also allows you to use the Replace feature to change content.

Finding content:

We will use the Find command in our example to locate a specific department in this list.

  1. On the Home tab, click the Find and Select command and from drop-down menu select Find.
  • Enter the content you want to find from the Find and Replace in the dialog box that will appear. We will type in our example the department’s name.
  • Click Find Next. If the content is found, the cell with the content will be chosen.
  • To find more examples, press Find Next or Find All to see each instance of the search word.
  • Upon completion, click Close to exit the Find and Replace dialog box.

Even by pressing Ctrl+F on your keyboard, you can access the Find command.

Click Options in the Find and Replace dialog box to see the advanced search criteria.
