First of all, you only need to post once--just be a little patient.

Secondly, can you give an example?

This may not be exactly what you're looking for (since I'm not entirely
clear what you're trying to do), but one way to remove a "constant" (e.g., a
named cell or array) from your spreadsheet is to delete the Name (Using
Insert | Name | Define and then deleting the unwanted Name). I'm not sure,
though, what this will do to any existing formulas that use the name.

Take a look at
Insert a Row using a Macro to maintain formulas
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/insrtrow.htm

The actual instruction in the macro that clears the constants
leaving the formulas of the inserted rows copied from above.

Selection.Offset(1).Resize(vRows).EntireRow. _
SpecialCells(xlConstants).ClearContents
