I don't know that it does do that, but it sounds the sort of thing that Jan

I am working with files with defined range names. These name ranges refer
to
on cell only. I want to change all formulae in the file: change range
name
back to cell reference (so I can delete the range names).

E.g. cell $A$42 is called range "ip_con" - there is a formula in cell b99
that says "=ip_con +200". I want the formula to say "=$A$42+200".
Obviously, there are a lot of these references, so looking them by
manually
is NOT an option.

Any help would be appreciated!!!!
