Replacing Multiple Cell Values
I have a column with various prices and blank cells, I want to replace all the different $ amounts to a 'rebate' text and then all the blank cells to 'no rebate' text. I could indiviudal search the $ amounts but there thousands of lines that could all be different so searching for a soluation that will avoid having to generate a list of all the unique values. Ex. If blank replace to 'no rebate', if not replace to 'rebate'?
Thanks,
