I have 3 sheets:
old
new
contains-refs-to-old
How can I place "new" in place of "old" without getting #REF! errors on the 3rd table?
thx.

what you need to do is adjust the formulas because it is looking for the current sheet that you have changed but cannot find the name.
The easiest way I believe to change the sheet name then change all of formulas by select all the cells with #REF & use Ctrl + H. Type in the old name into the find what box, and the new name into the replace all box, then hit replace all.
This should sort of all of the #Ref

You can do a find...replace on the sheet with the formula replacing = with ## and then rename your sheets and reverse the find...replace.
This is also useful for moving formula around without relative references altering.

How are you changing the sheet name?
If you double-click the tab and type the new name there the formulae should update accordingly on all sheets, (unless you are using indirect refs, these will need to be changed manually).

I'm guessing it's something like changing Old to Very Old and New to Old in which case the formula would still point to Very Old. Just my guess...Originally Posted by Marcol

So first I had to do a find&replace in the "contains-refs" sheet , and replace every "old" with "new".
Then delete the sheet "old", and rename sheet "new" to "old", references will change to the new name upon renaming.
If I delete the sheet "old" first, there are more "#REF!" errors than references to the "old" sheet because of cells referencing to an other bad referenced cell.
Thank you very much guys!
