How find all formulas on tab?
Thanks in advance.
I have a request from my supervisor to make an Excel file value only. I can do that by copying and then paste special, values. But before I do that, I want to check if there are any cells in the tab that have formulas, and therefore "need" to be pasted special. Is there a way to get info on which cells are formulas? I know of the Trace Precedents and Trace Dependents buttons, but I don't know how to do for a whole worksheet at a time. Thanks again. |

You could try searching for the "=" sign :o)
Hope this helps Julia |

Dim rng as Range
On Error Resume Next set rng = cells.SpecialCells(xlFormulas) On Error goto 0 if not rng is nothing then rng.Formula = rng.Value End if Should change to values where appropriate. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Ian Elliott" wrote in message ...

Ian: There is a few ways to see which cells contain formulas: Option 1 Edit menu - Goto - click the "Special" button - check the Formulas box This will highlight all cells on a sheet that contain formulas. Option 2 Select Tools - Options - View tab - Window Options - check the Formulas box. This will then show the actual formula in each cell on the sheet. Note that it will change your view of the sheet as the cells then expand to show the entire formula on the screen. You can change back to regular view by unchecking the Formulas box. Option 1 may serve better, as you only want to see if formulas exist on the sheet prompting you to use Paste Special-Values. If no formulas exist on the sheet, you'll receive a message that says "No Cells Were Found" meaning the sheet is already all values and normal Paste will work fine. Hope it helps, Rick |
