Hi

I am trying to use FIND & REPLACE to change many formulas. Example -

I want to change the cell reference C4:C49 to show C3:C49 and Z4:Z49 to show Z3:Z49, etc. However, when I use FIND & REPLACE to change the row reference from 4 to 3, it also changes 49 to 39 (obviously only looking at the one digit which is the 3).

How do I stop it from changing the 2 x digit numbers also ?

The above example is only one cell but I am needing to change multiple cells and its not as simple as just copying across.

Thanks

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Hey thanks Kevin. I didn't think about the colon.

Works fine. Have a good day.
