Same House - showing as a non-standard address
Can you please make a global change to the "Same House" as a standardized residence? We get many red exclamation points for unrecognized residences only to find that it comes from the census indicating the family's residence 5 years previously.

You have two better choices:
1) Ignore the red exclamation points. They are harmless.
2) Figure out what residence is really being referred to and replace "Same House" with the actual residence.

This would be the 1940 US federal census, yes? To expand on Gordon Collett's #2, first standardize the 1940 residence, then copy-paste that residence to the 1935 residence.

By the way, this could be a great way to get a sibling or child or other close relative introduced to Family Tree. Get them an account. Show them how to look for red data error squares on the fan chart. Give them a reasonable goal as to clearing these. Give clear explanations of what to do.
Also, try to spread the word that you can either just not move over the 1935 "same house" designation when attaching a 1940 census source or right there in the source linker you can copy and paste the 1940 residence in to the residence field for the 1935 residence and not have to worry about it later.
