problem after rename of file
"File1_2006.xls" is data input file (one year record)
"File2_2006.xls" is display file (extract info from above file) and contains 50sheets to display info by using =C:\[file1_2006.xls]details'!A1 =C:\[file1_2006.xls]details'!A2 =C:\[file1_2006.xls]details'!B5 ........ ........ =C:\[file1_2006.xls]details'!A10 For the year 2007, I delete all the info in "File1_2006.xls" and rename it as "File1_2007.xls". I also save "File2_2006.xls" under new file name "File2_2007.xls". However, all the formulas in "File2_2007.xls" still link to "File1_2006.xls" and is there a way where I can make all the formulas in "File2_2007.xls" to link to "File1_2006.xls". Or is there a better way to do it, 1 file for input and the other to display info extract from the first . Thanks |

problem after rename of file
I think what Marvin means is to highlight all the cells with formulae
in and do CTRL-H to bring up the Find/Replace dialogue box. Use this to Find: 2006 and Replace With: 2007 - you only need to do this in one operation. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the help, I was able to complete the work in abt 5mins (auto
replace the formulas - in more than 200,000 cells, not 39000). I really appreciate all the helps given to me.
