Default need help modifying a complex column of formulas

Well, you should be able to replace this....

Master!$R$3,A2

with this...

Master!$R$3

to do what you want.

Thanks for the suggestion Pete, but it wont work in my case.
Sorry, I should have mentioned this before. The problem is that every
so often I have customised the formula down the column. In about 200
to 300 cells I have replaced the Master!$C8 at the end of the formula
with Master!$C9. I want to keep those like that. Ideally I would do
some kind of search and replace with a wildcard, for example:

replace "Master!$R$3,*,Master!$R$4"
with "Master!$R$3,Master!$R$4" but I don't think such a thing is
possible.

Just change the formula in the first cell to this:


=CONCATENATE(Master!$R$2,Master!$R$3,Master!$R$4,M aster!$C2,D3,Master!
$C3,Master!$C5,Master!$C8)


by deleting the ,A2. Select the cell again and double-click on the
fill handle (the small black square in the bottom right corner of the
cursor) and this will copy it down the column.


Hope this helps.

Thiis is the formula:
=CONCATENATE(Master!$R$2,Master!$R$3,A2,Master!$R$ 4,Master!
$C2,D3,Master!$C3,Master!$C5,Master!$C8)
I want to remove the A2 part from all 1000 entries

That won't work though, because in the next row it is A3, then A4 and
so on until A1000

I have a column of about 1000 entries. It is a very long Concatenate
formula. Within the formula there is a reference to another column
which I no longer want to include. Is there a way to modify all these
entries to remove that reference? If it was a static value I would
just do a search and replace but the part I want to remove is
different on each row (for example, A1 on the first row, A2 on the
second and so on, up to A1000. I want to remove them all)


any ideas?
