Converting to Absolute Cell References - en bloc
I have several similar worksheets with cross-referenced cells.
When I set the original up, I just used normal cell references, eg. Data!AF109, Data!AF110, etc. It would be a great convenience for me if I could re-define all these references as absolute, so that I can copy them into a different part of the worksheet. They would then become Data!$AF$109, Data!$AF$110, etc. Is there a way I can do this without re-typing all the formulae? |

You can use F4 to toggle the references, or you could use a macro
I use 4 different macros, press Alt + F11, click insertmodule and paste in Sub ReltoAbs() Dim Cell As Range For Each Cell In Selection Cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(Cell.Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlAbsolute) Next End Sub Sub AbstoRel() Dim Cell As Range For Each Cell In Selection Cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(Cell.Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlRelative) Next End Sub Sub RelColAbsRows() Dim Cell As Range For Each Cell In Selection Cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(Cell.Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlAbsRowRelColumn) Next End Sub Sub RelRowsAbsCol() Dim Cell As Range For Each Cell In Selection Cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(Cell.Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlRelRowAbsColumn) Next End Sub beware of line wrapping press Alt + Q to close the VBE, now select the formulas and run the first of them by pressing Alt + F8 and select the macro. If you want to make it available for future workbooks you can put the macro in your Personal.xls "Basher Bates" wrote in message ... I have several similar worksheets with cross-referenced cells.

Thanks Peo, all new territory for me. I'll give it a go and let you know how
I get on. I did try pressing F4 but that just cleared all the entries within the selection and I had to "Undo".

Sorry, I you need to high light the formula in the formula bar, then press
F4. Note for the macros that Cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(Cell.Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlAbsolute) has to be all in one line or else you'll get a syntax error, that goes for all 4 macros -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom http://nwexcelsolutions.com "Basher Bates" wrote in message ...

Thanks for your original post - and the supplementary one. I did, in fact
put the various statements all on one line each and it worked fine. this is going to save me a lot of typing - and risk of errors!. My first attempt at a macro! I was not so fortunate with the last part of your first message, re saving - Excel Help not much use either. How do I save the macros for future use? Presumably, I need to create a file called "Personal.xls" then store the macros there - but, then, how do I call them from another workbook? The Help facility told me that I could make a new button for this purpose and have it load in each new workbook - but no further info. on how to go about doing this.

OK, do as follows: Do toolsmacrorecord new macro, when prompted select
Personal Macro Workbook from the dropdown in the store macro in: box, click OK. Stop the macro recording. immediately. Press Alt + F11 to open the VBE, in the left hand side in the project pane double click module1 in the personal.xls. Remove any code from your recorded macro and paste in the 4 macros there. Press Alt + Q to close the VBE. When you close excel you will be prompted to save the personal.xls, do so. Now you will have this available for all workbooks, to run them select the cells you want to change the references in, do Alt + F8 and select any of the 4 macros either by high lighting one of them and click run or by double clicking the name. Or you can create a custom menu button(s) that you can attach any macro to HTH -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom http://nwexcelsolutions.com "Basher Bates" wrote in message ...
