    Relative cell reference to Absolute

    Hi - I am looking for a way to change all cell references from relative to absolute. Is there an easy way to do this?

    thanks in advance.

    Hi gnewmal,

    There's no quick way without VBA. But the way I usually change between the two is to go into the formula for the cell, put the cursor on the reference I want to change and then hit 'F4' and it will change them from relative to absolute. You can even cycle through all 4 combinations of relative and absolute referencing by continuing to hit F4.

    Need more info.
    How are the cells being referenced? (show formula)
    Have you tried Find/Replace?
    eg Find B, replace $B$ just be VARY careful using that method
    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
