Default mass change table_array Name in VLOOKUP formula

Hi,

I have a worksheet of 2003 data using many VLOOKUPs to several Name ranges
in other worksheets, eg, (=VLOOKUP(B4,Bank_2003,2,FALSE)). I want to clone
this worksheet to prepare 2004 data. I have now defined the corresponding
2004 name ranges, eg, Bank_2004, Visa_2004, etc. I have now created a copy
of the 2003 worksheet and call it say 2004 worksheet. Everything is in the
same .xls file.

Is there a quick way of changing all references in the formulas in the new
worksheet from Bank_2003 to Bank_2004, Visa_2003 to Visa_2004, etc; without
editing each cell. I don't want to change the cell ranges for the 2003 Names
because I still need them.

Bank_2003, Bank_2004 are in the same worksheet; Visa_2003, Visa_2004 are in
another worksheet, etc.

Using the Help, the closest I can find is to use Insert Name Apply, but
I can't make it work.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,
Gabby

Hi Bob,

Looks like this will do the trick for me. Didn't realised it would be as
simple as that. Many thanks for the help.
