Issue anonymising data entries in specific columns.
Hi all, I was looking for some help.
I am a total newbie to excel but have to get to grips pretty fast with it for my work role. We currently have a process where we have a list of nominations with people's names, in column D. There are 996 rows in this spreadsheet.
Part of this process is for me to go through column D and remove all the names. Currently we are doing find x name and replace it with a capital X to make all entries anonymous. This process takes me hours and hours and hours.
It would really swing in my favour if there was a way to do this quicker, like any hacks anyone has? I did try a lengthy formula but it only worked on one entry and not for the full column.
Ideally, it would be without having to do pivot tables or anything but would be so grateful if you have any ideas! ❤️
Thanks all
P.S I am taking all the YouTube courses and watching all the excel clips, tips and videos that I possibly can.
