Find/Replace
I have an overall Excel workbook that is pulling information from 3 other
workbooks. Upon updating information in the 3 workbooks, I now need to update my cell range in the overall. I am currently doing a find and replace: Find: $156 Replace $500 I use the dollar signs because I have lines with 156 as reference that cell line. Anyway when I do this, a window pops up asking for the correct spreadsheet file. For every cell that is being updated, it asks this. There are at least 500 cells that need to be updated. Why is this doing this? And is there a way to avoid this and just update the cell information? Thanks in advance. |

Find/Replace
Michelle ... (Hi)
Not sure I understand your ? totally ... However, if you are looking to find/replace $156 with $500 in the Overall Book ... then select the entire Range where $156 exist & then select "Replace All". HTH or at least gets you on your way ... Kha "Michelle" wrote: I have an overall Excel workbook that is pulling information from 3 other workbooks.

Find/Replace
Hi Ken
Thanks for your response. Yes, that is what I did...I selected "replace all". For example, I have an overall workbook that pulls information from Workbook 1, Workbook 2, Workbook3. Let's say workbook3 is located at c:\budgets\workbook3.xlsm When I click on replace all, the message box comes up asking where workbook3 is mapped. I then need to find c:\budgets\workbook3.xlsm and select it for every cell that I am updating. "Ken" wrote: Michelle ... (Hi) Not sure I understand your ? totally ...
