Batch Replacer for MS Excel

Batch Replacer for MS Excel is a plugin specially designed for Useful File Utilities, which implements multi-string replacement capabilities for Microsoft Excel files, enabling you to easily search and replace key words or phrases.

Simple setup and interface

Provided that you have the file manager installed, Batch Replacer for MS Excel gets unpacked swiftly and effortlessly. It can be called for one or more selected Excel spreadsheets.
The main configuration window has a simple design and neatly organized structure, where you can use the file browser to find and locate a translation table, edit its properties, or create a new one on the spot.

Search and replace text in spreadsheets

It can be asked to look up information in table values while taking into account or excluding case sensitive mode, along with whole cells and words. If you want to perform searches only, it's possible to disable the replacement action.
Search results reveal the name, original and new size, changed size, amount and status of each file, in addition to total items, original and new size, together with the modified size when it comes to all unchanged, successful, failed and total files.

Configure advanced options

You can fiddle with the text replacement formatting, such as setting the same name, size, color, bold, italic and underline style of font, or the same highlight (only if replacing whole cells).
The original file can be modified after creating a backup, or the application can create a new file to leave the original one untouched. Any audio track from the local disk can be assigned to play as an alert on task completion.

Evaluation and conclusion

It remained stable throughout the file manager's runtime in our tests, without causing it to hang, crash or indicate errors. Search and replace operations were carried out fast, while system resources usage was minimal.
Thanks to its practical options, Batch Replacer for MS Excel should meet the requirements of many users looking to handle Excel spreadsheets easier when resorting to Useful File Utilities.
