    Ummm... Are you talking about Named Ranges (Cells) or about Cell Values?

    IOW Is "Term" the Name of a Range, or is it just what is entered in the Cell?
    I expect the student to do their homework and find all the errrors I leeve in.

    "Term" is the text content of the cell, and i just want to look for for any cell contains text "English Section details" then check if the cell under it contains text "Terms" ------> if yes then edit the text to "English Terms".thanks in advance for your efforts

    Cheers

    dim Cel as Range
    for each Cel in YourRange 'Edit YourRange to reflect reality
    If Cel = "English Section details" And Cel.Offset(1) = "Terms" Then _
    Cel.Offset(1) = "English Terms"
    Next

    100000 cells? I'm going to rewrite it

    Sub Change_TERMS()
    
    Const ESd As String * 23 = "english section details" 
    Const T As String * 5 = "terms"
    Const ET as String * 13= "English Terms"
    
    Dim Cel As Range 
    
    'UnComment next 4 lines after testing
    'With Application 
    .Screenupdating = False
    .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
    'End With
    
    For Each Cel In Sheets("Sheet1").UsedRange
        If LCase(Trim(Cel)) = ESD Then
          If LCase(Trim(Cel.Offset(1))) = T Then _ 
        Cel.Offset(1) = ET
       End If
    Next 
    
    With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = True
    .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    End With
    End Sub
    If that is too slow, and you think there's less than say 1000 "english section details"+"terms" pairs, I'll try using Find to see if it's faster

    6.68MB? Zipped?
    For testing purpose, all we need is maybe 100 Rows.

    You can upload that here by using the Go Advanced Editor and its Paper Clip menu icon

    Rows 52081 and 52083 in the Big Sample.xlsx have a #NAME error in column B so that was the Type Mismatch error

    Maybe this - only took 3-4 seconds on the large file

    Option Explicit
    Sub Change_Text()
        
        Dim rCell As Range
        
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
         
        For Each rCell In Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Cells
            If VarType(rCell.Value) <> vbString Then GoTo GetNextCell
            If LCase(Trim(rCell.Value)) <> "english section details" Then GoTo GetNextCell
            If LCase(Trim(rCell.Offset(1, 0).Value)) <> "term" Then GoTo GetNextCell
            
            rCell.Offset(1, 0) = "English Terms"
            'rCell.Offset(1, 0).Interior.Color = vbRed     <<<< just for testing
    GetNextCell:
        Next
         
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub
