Find & Select button on Mac for Excel

Question

I am a student of Microsoft Excel 13 with a Mac computer.  Workbook assignment instruction to replace white text to yellow text using the Find & Select.  The picture on the page doesn't exists in Mac computer.  Reading your response on other similar inquiries, is there another option to get this assignment done in replacing the color text?  Is there a program I can purchase?

Thank you

Answer 1

It sounds like what you're looking to do is Find & Replace based on formatting attributes.

Excel for Mac does not have that capability. AFAIK the only spreadsheet software that does have it is the later versions of Excel for Windows... There may be another but I've never come across it.

I'm afraid that if the class is specifically on Microsoft Excel 2013 for Windows this is not the only assignment you won't be able to complete unless you're using that software.

Answer 2

To add to Bob's answer (not take away).

If you have enough space on your hard drive.

Either use Boot camp or, purchase Parallels or similar program, install Windows. And install the PC version of 2016. And see whether you can do what you need.

Might be cheaper than buying a PC.
