Hi,

Below a previous posted problem not solved yet !

Maybe somebody can help !

Thanks,

To explain the problem better:
Have 3 workbooks with multiple sheets which is consolidated into 1
workbook.
The links to the 3 workbooks had to be changed and was done with the
"data, edit links, change source" command but one of the the links was
mistakenly duplicated resulting in the info below. File was saved so
can not undo.

Formula:
:='[AAA.xls]Sheet1'!A7+'[BBB.xls]Sheet1'!A7+'[BBB.xls]Sheet1'!A7

Want to change it to:
:='[AAA.xls]Sheet1'!A7+'[BBB.xls]Sheet1'!A7+'[CCC.xls]Sheet1'!A7


Want to do this for the whole workbook iso doing it one by one since
it is has approx 2000 links that follow the same logic, with only the
file name to be changed.

The rest below might make more sense now !

Hi Luke,

I tried the following:
Find:
+'[BBB.xls]??????????
Replace with:
+'[CCC.xls]??????????

Message: Excel found no data to replace

The formula contains a link to the one file twice and I want to
replace one of the links with another link. Therfor can not use
Data,edit links, change source.

Can do what you suggest but means I will have to do so cell by cell
and the change in the link is required in multiple cells on multiple
sheets !

They are recognized, but you may not be applying them correctly.
Also, if you search for a wildcard, you'd have to define what to
replace that wildcard with! Perhaps you can do:
Find:
+'[BBB.xls]Sheet1'!A7+
Replace with:
+'[CCC.xls]Sheet1'!A7+

How do I change a range of Formula linked to 3 other files ?

Example:
Cell Reference:
A7:='[AAA.xls]Sheet1'!A7+'[BBB.xls]Sheet1'!A7+'[BBB.xls]Sheet1'!A7
A8:='[AAA.xls]Sheet1'!A8+'[BBB.xls]Sheet1'!A8+'[BBB.xls]Sheet1'!A8


Want to change one of the references to '[BBB.xls] to '[CCC.xls] using
wildcard characters but * and ? does not seam to be regognized in
find and
repalce ?
