Just remember to do formulas right the first time (5 o'clock complaining)

Mike L.

Ugh my formula's wrong and it's spread out over 100 files.  It was bad enough going back and entering the formula across all sheets the first time now I'm going to have to redo it.  Is there any user define function available that might make this easier to update?  I can understand that UDFs might not work with cross sheet formulas but for basic in-sheet formulas couldn't a UDF be executed using @cell references in the formula?

Hi Mike,

I feel your pain! 

A possible workaround could be to export/backup to Excel and add the formula there and add a special character before the = and then search and replace in the sheets.

Depending on the structure, complexity and so on that could be a more efficient option.

Would that help?

Have a fantastic day!

If the code is fairly generic (like using @row instead of row numbers), this can be done easily using the API.

I have a find and replace function for this sort of thing. It is not expecting 100 sheets, but it could.

I won't have time to work on it before you likely have to fix it though. Sorry.

I will start using @row more and experiment with search and replace There's so much to learn.  Awesome feedback, thanks Andree & Craig !
