I should have been more specific with my last post about absolut
macro's, below is the formula that i would like all cell reference
within this formula to become absolute using a macro as i have abou
2000 cells that will use this or a similar formula...any help would b
great...sorry for not being more specific damn forum noobies

Thanks Snail

=IF(LEFT('Master Roster'!$C$13,2)="RN",VLOOKUP('Maste
Roster'!$E$13,RN_shiftcode_table,3,FALSE),IF(LEFT(
'Master Roster'!$C$13,2)="EN",VLOOKUP('Maste
Roster'!$E$13,EN_shiftcode_table,3,FALSE),IF(LEFT(
'Master Roster'!$C$13,2)="PC",VLOOKUP('Maste
Roster'!$E$13,PCW_shiftcode_table,3,FALSE),IF(LEFT
('Master Roster'!$C$13,1)="D",VLOOKUP('Maste
Roster'!$E$13,DON_shiftcode_table,3,FALSE),IF(LEFT
('Master Roster'!$C$13,2)="TH",VLOOKUP('Maste
Roster'!$E$13,TH_shiftcode_table,3,FALSE),"USC"))) )

Snail,

Whilst I must admit to being confused as to why you would want to change an
absolute reference to an absolute reference, this code answers the question.
Just select all the cells and run the code

Dim cell
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.HasFormula Then
cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(cell.Formula, xlA1,
xlA1, xlAbsolute)
End If
Next cell

Sorry the code i was meant to post looks like this maybe that would mak
a difference to the formula, althought i have tried modifying the code
all i seem to get is a "#VALUE" insert into the cell/s i run the macr
on...

=IF(LEFT('Master Roster'!$C3,2)="RN",VLOOKUP('Maste
Roster'!$E3,RN_shiftcode_table,3,FALSE),IF(LEFT('M aste
Roster'!$C3,2)="EN",VLOOKUP('Maste
Roster'!$E3,EN_shiftcode_table,3,FALSE),IF(LEFT('M aste
Roster'!$C3,2)="PC",VLOOKUP('Maste
Roster'!$E3,PCW_shiftcode_table,3,FALSE),IF(LEFT(' Maste
Roster'!$C3,1)="D",VLOOKUP('Maste
Roster'!$E3,DON_shiftcode_table,3,FALSE),IF(LEFT(' Maste
Roster'!$C3,2)="TH",VLOOKUP('Maste
Roster'!$E3,TH_shiftcode_table,3,FALSE),"USC"))))

No the code should be irrelevant. If it was all already absolute, my code
should not change anything.

Post back what the formula looked like after running the code.

Confused? I am. Why not send me a copy of the workbook directly.
