changing a vlookup formula using a macro
 

I wrote a vlookup formula to look for a value in cell reference of sheet two.
i copy pasted the formul horizontally. later when it was giving n/a i
realized when i copy pasted the vlookup it changed the cell reference from A
to B and the C. Is there a way to fix it without going through each cell and
changing it back to A.

Thanks

No need for a macro. Go back to the original cell and change the reference
to absolute (A1 becomes $A$1, or whatever). Then copy/paste this as before,
and the reference will not change to B, C etc.

If I understand your question correctly, go back to the first cell where you
pasted the formula, put a $ sign in front of the A and then copy/paste
(easier to put cursor on the small black square in bottom right of cell
border, cursor will turn to a black + sign, and drag) into the other cells
again.

You could go back to the original formula, make the A an absolute reference
(put a $ in front of it) and copy it down again.

Select the second column, then use Edit,Replace to change May to June.
