find and replace units of a formula
hopefully this is simple. I often want to preform a find and replace
sections of a formula, say I want to change the reference column form A to D or something.. currently I have hundreds of formulas that are sum(G11:AD11) and I'm trying to find and replace the :AD with :M, but when I perform this function, I get a message that it is not finding anything. I swear I did this exact same thing on a worksheet yesterday and it work like a charm. what am I doing wrong? Thanks |

Perhaps you forgot doing
Tools|Options|view and then checking view formula before doing your Find/Replace. The shortcut for switching between view formulas/Results is Ctrl+` The ` is to the right of the 1 key.

Make sure when you set up to do the Find and Replace that the "Look In"
setting is Formulas and not Values. "Roger" wrote: hopefully this is simple.
