Excel provides built-in tools to help you to find discrepancies like Filters, Conditional Formatting, advanced functions (If and IS, VLookUp, etc.), and Add-ins.

Head to Excel Home -> Search and select Replace. Enter a typo in the Find bracket. Replace it with the correct term and click Replace All at the bottom.

Microsoft Excel is perhaps the most powerful spreadsheet application you can buy. But it also has some simple functions, like finding duplicates in data.

Say that you have hundreds of similar Excel workbooks in a folder and you need to globally change “2009 Budget” to “2010 Budget” in all of the workbooks.
