Default rename all cell names but keep the formula

I want to change sales!XXX to salesledgers!XXX in an entire worksheet if i
use the edit and replace i.e. " find " = sales"! " replace " = salesledgers!
it does it BUT the cell referance is lost, I just want to alter the names NOT
the cell refference, is I an sure there is a way but it eludes me, anyone
help please.

thanks in anticipation steve

Why not just rename the worksheet, that does it automatically.

Can't you change the worksheet name to salesledgers, then change it to sales
afterwards?

I don't understand what "the cell reference is lost" means.

Maybe you could share your
original formula
the actual edit|replace parms
the formula after the edit|replace
