MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / January 2005find and replace formulas keeping relative addresses
I have some spreadsheets with incorrect formulas. I'd like to replace the existing formulas with correct ones. I can't do a fill down because there are merged cells in the column. Is there a way to do a find and replace to change the formulas? I did do a search in this NG for this answer, and a found a thread called "find and replace formulas but keep relative addressing". I tried that solution, which was very brief, and got no results. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I should have said I'm using XL2000 SR1. Sorry! I went back and played with more variations on the solution offered by Bernie in an earlier thread, and I figured it out. I had to select the column in which the erroneous formulas occured first, then do the Edit, Goto, Special, Formulas, Ok. The first formula in the first cell in the selected column is displayed. I corrected this formula, then hit Ctl Enter, and all the formlas in that column were changed to the correct one. Many thanks Dave - Lots of people would not have bothered to come back and close the thread, let alone explain what they had done. Makes our lives a lot easier. :-)  SignatureRegards Ken.......................
