Default Overwrite All Cells in Column

Sorry for the late response. I read what you said, but I had already set
that variable. The problem is that I copied sheets from one file to another,
and instead of formulas looking at neighboring columns in the table, they
including the filename they came from. Then I did a blanket edit to remove
those filenames, but when I insert a new row, that filename is still in the
default formula for new rows.

You have this option in XL 2003 as well. For this to work excel would need a
minimum of 4 rows on top filled with identical formulas..

In XL2003: ToolsOptionsEditmake sure 'Extend data range formats and
formulas' is checked

In XL2007: OfficeButtonExcel OptionsAdvancedUnder 'Editing Options' make
sure 'Extend data range formats and formulas' is checked


If this post helps click Yes

Excel 2007 has an excellent feature that makes the formulas automatically
jump into new rows when you insert them into a "table". But sometimes these
formulas stop filling in automatically, like when you find and replace all
within a worksheet. I have 20 sheets per file x 25 columns x 15 files to
turn this automatic function back on. It sure would be great if I could
select several columns and tell them to go back to automatically filling new
rows w/ new data.

Is there already such a thing?

Thanks.
