Advanced Find and Replace for Google Sheets

The add-on represents an enhanced mechanism of finding and replacing data in Google Sheets. Its advanced options provide a thorough scan across multiple spreadsheets or within the selected range. Enter the search query and pick other criteria: consider case and data type, or retrieve the cells that contain only the exact entry. The add-on will get the most precise results by picking all relevant items.

Our add-on finds and replaces data in formulas, notes, hyperlink, and errors.

With this tool at hand you can forget about switching to each found value one after another. You will see all matching records listed with the cell address and data type. Simply click on the record in the list to select it in your sheet.

You can also change multiple values with a click. And if you'd like to bring the search results to a separate sheet, simply export them with any adjacent data.

1. Run the add-on.
2. Enter the record to look for.
3. Specify the type of data to search within: formulas, values, notes, etc.
4. Check the sheets you’d like to scan.
5. Click Find all.

Yes, if you decide to make it so. :) A special Match case option lets you differentiate between the same records written in various cases.

Our tool is capable to search within values, formulas, notes, hyperlinks, and errors.

Sure! A useful option called By mask and a couple of wildcard characters will help you indicate the pattern of the values to look for.

For example, to see the list of all errors, tick off By mask along with Errors to look in. Then enter the asterisk (*) into the Find what field and press Find all - the tool will do the rest.

No, Advanced Find and Replace remembers the options you check and keeps them that way for you on the next run. You’ll only need to enter the text to search for and hit Find all.
