Thanks, Don
I had tried Indirect but it returns #REF. "Don Guillett" wrote: Have a look in the help index for INDIRECT -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Caledonia" wrote in message ...

I did -- I get #REF! I tried it with different rows -- not working! If I
put A1 in quotes, it works but it's pulling the data from Sheet!1 A1, not from Sheet!2 D40.

For Indirect() to work you have to a have a text value that looks like a cell
address or a range address. Thus, if cell A1 contains =Sheet2!D40, you are simply referencing that cell. A1 *should* read: Sheet2!D40 Now you can use =Offset(Indirect(A1),-15,1) "Caledonia" wrote: I did -- I get #REF! I tried it with different rows -- not working!

Ohhhhh! Well that works when I take out the =, but I have over a hundred
formulas to change. I can use a helper column and edit/replace, but is there an easier wasy to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Be sure to select all the cells that are SUPPOSED to have text, but have a
formula instead. SELECT ONLY THOSE CELLS. Now do a Find & Repalce, replacing the equal sign with nothing. "Caledonia" wrote: Ohhhhh!

tips worked well! "Duke Carey" wrote: Be sure to select all the cells that are SUPPOSED to have text, but have a formula instead. SELECT ONLY THOSE CELLS.
