When processing data in a Spreadsheet, we somtimesquickly need tolocate the data among various data, or modify incorrect data in bulk. It would be convenient to use the Find and replacefucntion in WPS Spreadsheet. This video could be used in Microsoft Office Excel and Openoffice.

1. Select all those ranges of cells that we want to find.

2. Click the Home and Find buttons in turn. (Tips: We can also use the shortcut key Ctrl+Fto open it)

3. Enter the contents that we want to find in the dialog box.(e.g. the grade E)

4. Click the find all button, and then we can see all the rows and cells that contain the E grade.

Later, we need to change all A grades as the B grades, because we found that we have made some mistakes about the grades A because of the teacher’smisjudge. Since there is a considerable number of data, it would be tedious to correctall mistakes by hand.
