to use F2 you'd have to select the cell, first.
AFAIK there'd be only 2 ways to do this - either a formula that would put updated info into the correct cell without selecting it, or by macro. hth susan On Apr 1, 7:07 pm, "L.

Formulas can't affect other cells' contents, only the values of formulas in other cells that refer to the cell containing the formula in question. Macros are the only direct way to change the contents of cells that aren't in the selected range. As for indirect ways, it's a matter of semantics, but you could use defined names to change the way formulas calculate without selecting the cells containing those formulas. |
