    Refer new sheet to previous sheet

    Hello and thanks for your time.


    Here's my problem:

    I have a sheet called "Mar" that contains several cells that = cells on a
    sheet called "Feb". Then, the next month I create a new sheet called "Apr".
    To create this new sheet, I simply copy and paste "Mar" and rename it.
    Obviously the cells with the = symbol still read (i.e.) =Feb!B10. I have
    been going into each cell and replacing the text Feb with Mar.

    I KNOW there must be an easier way. I just don't know it.

    I am self taught in Excel, and I'm sure this question is quite elementary.
    Unfortunately, I can't figure it out.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    You could use find and replace (Ctrl+F). In your "Apr" sheets find all "Feb"
    and replace with "Mar".

    David:

    Thank you. Thank you. What a time saver! I knew someone would say,
    "That's easy to solve", but you are the ONLY person to reply to my question.

    Thanks again!
