    Find/Replace

    I would like to past a new worksheet into an existing workbook. The objective is the replace an existing worksheet with this new worksheet. Is there a way to use find/replace to have any formula references to the prior worksheet point to the new worksheet. Using Excel 2013 in Windows 7 Professional. Is it better to just paste one worksheet over the other?

    Re: Find/Replace

    You can find&replace fairly easy but you need to make sure that the find is very specific so you dont break anything else.

    Re: Find/Replace

    Using F/R with formulas can be tricky. I have found that sometimes, the best way is to first "unformula" them...Find = Replace @ (just to make the formulas not formulas now) Then find/Replace what you need to to, then reverse the Find @ Replace =

    Make a backup of your file 1st, in case it all goes wrong
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
