Default Convert Array Formulas to Regular Formulas

I see what you mean to do, but when I run your code, I get "Error 1004: You
cannot change part of an array."

Any ideas how to work around this?

STEP 1: MOST IMPORTANT -- make a copy of the troublesome workbook and test
this in the copy, not the original!

Using the copy of the workbook, put this code into a regular code module and
run it. It may take a while depending on the number of sheets in the
workbook and the number of cells used on each one, because it's going to
examine every cell on every sheet that was ever used!

Here's the code: to put it into the workbook, open the workbook, then press
[Alt]+[F11] to enter the VB Editor (VBE). Copy and paste the code into the
module. At that point you can actually place the cursor anywhere within the
code and just press the [F5] key to run it right then and there.

Sub KillArrayFormulas()
Dim anySheet As Worksheet
Dim sheetUsedRange As Range
Dim anyCell As Range

For Each anySheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Set sheetUsedRange = anySheet.UsedRange
For Each anyCell In sheetUsedRange
If anyCell.HasFormula Then
anyCell.Formula = anyCell.Formula
End If
Next
Next
'some housekeeping
Set sheetUsedRange = Nothing
Set anySheet=Nothing
MsgBox"Formula Rewrites Completed"
End Sub

I have a workbook that is linked to a query from another (legacy)
application. I have formulas that do further calculations with the query
results. Everything worked fine in Excel 2003. However, I recently upgraded
to Excel 2007 and now, all of the formulas that work on the results of the
query turn into ARRAY formulas (and they should just be regular formulas).
I've given up trying to figure out what is causing the issue as the legacy
application is no longer supported. I just want to write a macro to fix all
of the formulas and convert them back into regular formulas. I've tried doing
a find and replace for the "{" and "}" characters in the array formulas, but
Excel never finds anything to replace (I assume the physical characters
aren't really there).

Any suggestions on how I could convert all array formulas on a worksheet to
standard formulas?
