Find & Replace Q
 
I am having a difficulty in Find & Replacing some text. The following
is a formula within a cell:-

='F:\Sean\My Documents\Reports\Add Reports\Large Customer Analysis\
[Large Cust June - May''08.xls]Report'!$W36

I am looking to replace all instances of May'08 with May'09 (this will
then reference to another file). But it returns "No matches found" -
am I doing this the correct way?


Thanks

Sean

Bingo, that worked, Thanks

I've had it before when there is a space in the sheet name, I can't
figure out how to Find & Replace. I end up re-naming the sheet without
any spaces and it works fine. There must be some structure I'm missing

never use spaces in (any) names, that's my habit

use "_" instead
