Change formula to reference different external worksheets
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 Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - respond to newsgroup |
