A global search and replace should work. Within the search-and-replace window, click on the options button if the lower part of the window isn't open, choose to look in "formulas" and also choose whether to search throughout the sheet or the entire workbook.

I tried making a << corrected formula in one << cell and then dragging the cell, but that doesn't work << because other parts of << the formula contain a constant that should be different for << each cell. << << Thanks again. << << Ray Shapp << ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
