The Issue: I have a spreadsheet with hundreds of formulas/links with absolute references in each cell. I need to remove the absolute references.

What I have tried: I cannot simply remove the absolutes from one cell and then fill the cells down because each cell has a different formula.

What I Need: So, I need a macro or something that will do a search for any "$" in a cell value and then delete it.

Any thoughts?
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Yikes - I would like to blame monday morning for not thinking of this. Thanks, that will work.
