I have a worksheet with 100 rows. Each row has many formulas referring
to 100 (closed) Excel files. The filenames look like '??-???????-???.XLS'. So in each row there are strings in the formulas that look like this [??-???????-???.XLS], different for each row. I now need to change the formulas to refer to 100 new Excel files. Same naming scheme, different characters. Manually, I can select the first row and search for the '[??-???????-???.XLS]' string and replace with the correct, new string. Then go onto the second row, search for the same generic '[??-???????-???.XLS]' string and replace with the 2nd new filename. But what if I put the 100 new filenames in column A. Is there a way to do a Find & Replace for the generic string [??-???????-???.XLS] on each row and replace with the appropriate values from column A. Kindof a dynamic Search and Replace? Thanks for any suggestions... -Paul Cross |
