What if the formulas have absolute references: $F$1, $AA$100

And you only want to make the row reference relative?

Depending on how "good" you are with Edit/Replace, you may end up replacing
ALL the $ when you only wanted to replace the $ for the rows.

I guess it boils down to ones personal preferences and experience level.
Personally, I use the F4 key.

Gord, wouldn't it work to simply select the cells with the $ to be
eliminated
and then Edit - Replace the $ with nothing?

Manually you can select each cell, select the cell refs and cycle through
the
combinations using the F4 function key.

OR use a macro to do all cells at the click of a button. Below are four
macros.

The Sub Relative() is the one you want for your particular problem. Just
select
the range and run the macro.

Sub Absolute()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.HasFormula Then
cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(cell.Formula, _
xlA1, xlA1, xlAbsolute)
End If
Next
End Sub


Sub AbsoluteRow()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.HasFormula Then
cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(cell.Formula, _
xlA1, xlA1, xlAbsRowRelColumn)
End If
Next
End Sub


Sub AbsoluteCol()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.HasFormula Then
cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(cell.Formula, _
xlA1, xlA1, xlRelRowAbsColumn)
End If
Next
End Sub


Sub Relative()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.HasFormula Then
cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(cell.Formula, _
xlA1, xlA1, xlRelative)
End If
Next
End Sub

Hi Gord,

Thank you very much for your help. The $ sign was the answer previously
provided by Biff was the answer. You hit on it too. I am set on
"automatic". Do you know how I can get rid of the $? I don't know how
to
change the cell refs from "absolute"

Thank you again for your fast response to my problem.

Sounds like Manual Calculation is set.

Go to ToolsOptionsCalculation and set to "Automatic".

Alternative..........the cell refs have been made Absolute by placing
$ signs
like

=$F$1

I'm trying to copy formulas down a column of many rows and I get the
exact
formula in each copied row. I want the copied rows to refer to
sequential
rows as F1, F2, F3, etc. What I get is every row refers to F1 which
is the
original copy row.
Is this possible. TYIA
