This tool allows users to easily list and replace text in Excel files, making it useful for tasks like cleaning, translation, or content discovery. It can replace text with alternate characters or language sets, and identifies all readable content within the file.

The software uses three distinct steps to transform your files into a more diverse language, which includes an acquire step to gather all text and merge it into a list(the Library), an assign alternate step that helps users create one or more listings of alternate phrases, and finally, a swap step that exchanges the originals with the alternates.The software searches all of the places that text can be found while ignoring pure numerical results and constants.
PhraseSwapper enables users to select other conditions and locations to ignore and swap phrases from cells, formulas, comments, drawing shapes, charts, conditional formats, data validation, tab names, and print headers/footers. The software does not examine any dialogs, macros, or VBA code attached to the project.
Moreover, PhraseSwapper respects the protections in place for protected projects, worksheets, and workbooks. The software works with files or templates created using Microsoft Excel XP, Microsoft Excel 2003, or Microsoft Excel 2007, and it runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems only.
