    Sheet Reference Problem, Formula suddenly referencing wrong sheet

    Hi Guys,

    I consider myself a proficient excel user. I have a very large work book that has many sheets and some reasonably complex equations, etc.

    For some reason all the sheet referencing has suddenly gone out of sequence. For example an equation on Sheet 1 that was referencing Sheet 2 is now referencing Sheet 3. An equation referencing Sheet 3 is now referencing Sheet 4, so on and so forth.

    Given the complexity of the workbook it is an enormous task to correct this cell by cell.

    Has anyone ever come across a similar problem?

    Can anyone help with a global fix please?

    Thanks!

    Never had it happen to me. But you should be able to replace string within formula using Find & Replace.

    Search for sheet name in formula context (Ex: Sheet1! or 'Sheet Name'! and replace as needed).

    Make sure you confine the operation to just the applicable range.

    I'd suggest setting Calculation mode to Manual while doing replace and then turning it back on again.
