Default How do I edit several formulas at one time in a worksheet?

Hi

Instead of copying and orrect the formulas daily; you can have the formulas
using INDIRECT() which will pick the sheet names automatically; so that you
dont need to change the formulas...

---In the daily sheet you need to have a cell where you enter the current
date. Say cell A1
---Not sure how you have named your sheets. Say if you have named the sheet
in dd-mm-yyyy format
---So in case you have sheetnames with '06-07-2009', '07-07-2009' etc; With
current date (07-07-2009) in cell A1 of Sheet '07-07-2009' ; the below
formula in Sheet '07-07-2009' will refer to the previous days sheet cell A2

=INDIRECT("'" & TEXT(A1-1,"dd-mm-yyyy") & "'!A2")

If this post helps click Yes

I have a workbook that contains a daily report. I add a new sheet for every
day of the month and right now I have to change all my formulas to reference
the day immediately before individually. Does anyone know of a way to edit
several formulas at one time to reference the sheet before them after copying
the entire sheet for a new daily report? The formula I am using is a 3D
reference formula that brings information from the previous day to the
current day.
