Hi,
I am adding a number to an existing formula on my workbook. I have over 500 entires to update. When I change the first formula and copy and paste it, all the formulas become the same. How would I be able to make each cells formula the same and just add the one addition. Can anyone help ? Thanks Medina |

ok
the formula is =M5+2.275+.08 the second # (2.275) is different for each cell. I need to add 5 cents to all the formulas. My only problem is that the second number in each equation needs to remain different. The only thing that I need to do is link the 5 cent addition to all the formulas without having to do each one separately.

God point, Harlan - thanks.

Alternatively, if your second number is never 0.08, then you could highlight the cells with the formula in and do Find & Replace (CTRL-H): Find What: 0.08 Replace with: 0.13 ... Problem is that this would also replace, say, 20.08 with 20.13. While you may be able to include + as the first character of each, there'd still be problems when the original term has more decimal places but begins with 0.08. |

Hi Melinda
1. You need to CTRL + H 2. Find +.08 3. Replace with +.08+5 This will add 5 to all of your formulas without changing anything else thanks Shail Medina wrote: Sandy, u have a point, but how can I just copy and paste the addition to all the formulas w/o changing the second value "Sandy Mann" wrote: tm m, With a range of your formula, (with the 2.275 slightly altered in each formula), I entered .05 in an unused cell and the selected the range of formulas and the Paste Special Add and got: =(M5+2.275+0.08)+0.05 -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland with @tiscali.co.uk "Medina" wrote in message ... ok the formula is =M5+2.275+.08 the second # (2.275) is different for each cell.

Medina,
I am sorry if I did not make it clear. I copied the cell with the 0.05 in it then selected the range to be modified and selected: Paste Special then click on the ADD option in the Operation section of the dialog box and then click OK. -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland with @tiscali.co.uk "Medina" wrote in message ... what did u hit in paste special that copied it, I can't seem to figure it out thanks "Sandy Mann" wrote: tm m, With a range of your formula, (with the 2.275 slightly altered in each formula), I entered .05 in an unused cell and the selected the range of formulas and the Paste Special Add and got: =(M5+2.275+0.08)+0.05 -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland with @tiscali.co.uk "Medina" wrote in message ... ok the formula is =M5+2.275+.08 the second # (2.275) is different for each cell.
