Hi,

I have a master spreadsheet that has several sheets.  Each sheet is reading
data from a separate external spreadsheet C:\Data using the below formula.
IF($AH5="","",IF('C:\Data\[Generic.xls]sheetTFF'!$A5="",A4,'C:\Data\[Generic.
xls]sheetTFF'!A5))

On each new sheet I want to recreate the above formula but to reference a
different sheet on the same C:\Data external spreadsheet.  I am looking for a
quick way to change the formula to read 'C:\Data\[Generic.xls]sheetTFF'!$A5
to 'C:\Data\[Generic.xls]sheetTFG'!$A5 and to 'C:\Data\[Generic.xls]sheetTFH'!
$A5 and so on, quickly as I don't want to spend hours doing this manually.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks for reading.

Regards

Duncuk

Simplest way is to create the new sheet by copying the one that references
sheetTFF (Edit > Move or Copy Sheet > Create a copy)

Then in the new sheet Edit > Replace > sheetTFF [with] sheetTFG > Replace All
