Default Removing labels and names in formulas

I'd do this against a copy of the file...

Subject: Can I "De-Name" Formula Cell References?

To do it to a cell or two first turn on Transition Formula Entry under
Tools, Options, Transition. Then go to the cell and press F2 and Enter.
When you turn off TFE the formula references should be de-named.

If you have a lot of cells to de-name select the range and run this macro:

Sub Dename()
Dim Cell As Range
ActiveSheet.TransitionFormEntry = True
For Each Cell In Selection.SpecialCells(xlFormulas)
Cell.Formula = Cell.Formula
Next
ActiveSheet.TransitionFormEntry = False
End Sub

Be aware that any reference to those names in your code will be broken.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

I need to remove labes from the formulas in a spreadsheet because I need to
put it on my iPaq and unfortunately does not support labels and names. Is
there a way to accomplish it without loosing the formulas?

Thank you
