Seems to me we're missing some information here. Would this be what you
mean?: "I would like to identify a selected group of cells (eg C5:F10) and
place the character string 'XXX' in any cell of that group whose current
value is > 10. If the original looks like this:
C D E F
5 12 9 5 13
6 1 2 3 5
7 5 7 10 14
8 14 12 10 8
9 4 9 16 25
10 1 8 27 64
....afterward it should look like this:
C D E F
5 XXX 9 5 XXX
6 1 2 3 5
7 5 7 10 XXX
8 XXX XXX 10 8
9 4 9 XXX XXX
10 1 8 XXX XXX
Is this possible? When I try, Excel tells me it can't identify my number."
Try to ask your question (whatever it really is, because I doubt it's the
above) more exactly, in this mode.
