    Help fixing #REF in named ranges

    Hello, I have about 100 named ranges that I need to find and replace the #REF with DATA in. Example named range is below.

    =#REF!$H$2:INDEX(#REF!$H:$H,Datalrow)

    Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

    Not sure if this will work, but you can try using the build-in Find/Replace (which is pretty much what buran has, but you dont need VBA for this)
    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

    @FDibbins: Is it possible to search/replace in the names using the build in dialog?

    Not sure what you mean by that? Highlight the range in question, press CTRL H and that will take you to the Find/Replace window

    Of course I know how to display Find/Replace window :-)
    Maybe I have wrong understanding of the dcgrove's problem. My understanding is that there are about 100 "named ranges", i.e. names and he/she needs to edit RefersTo property of the name. This is not possible with Find/Replace Window. The alternatives are to edit each name individually in the Name Manager or use VBA. Anyway, there is no feedback from dcgrove...
