I have files with monthly data. This data has different categories
(columns). I am summarizing this data in a sheet using conditional sum.
Now when new data comes in every month I have to go into each cell with
these formulae to update the formula with new sheet name with new data.
Is there any easier/faster/better way to do this?

Here is an example of formula in one cell (obviously when I copy the
formula excel gets rid of { brackets but those are there in the
formula)......and I have formulae like this in about 40 cells that I
need to update every month manually.

=SUM(IF(Sheet1_Dec!$J$2:$J$2859=$A5,IF(Sheet1_Dec! $I$2:$I$2859=G$4,Sheet1_Dec!$G$2:$G$2859,0),0))

Thank you very much in advance.
Sanjay

How about just Edit|Replace?

Depending on the name of the worksheet, you may need to include apostrophes
around that name.

Edit|Replace works great. I didn't realize Find looks in formulas too.
Thank you very much. Sanjay
