Removing Named Range from Formula

[JPBJR]

I have many rows of a formula in several hundred worksheets similar to:

=If(q5="I",a1*b1,if(MED="P",a1*b2,a1*b3))
where MED is a named range for column Q.

The formula uses both a relative reference, i.e., Q5 and a named reference, i.e., MED to signify the same cell (don't ask me why

I would like to remove the named range reference from the formula, and replace it with Q5 etc...

Thank you!

when you say named range, do you mean named cell?
you said that MED refers to Column Q, which is not the same as Q5?


You can use Find/Replace on formulas.

Highlight the area you want

press Ctrl+H
in Find put MED
in Replace put Q5
Replace All or Alt+A

If that's what you need.
