i have copied a "Sheet A" from "workbook 1" into "workbook 2". workbook 1 has a cell named "value_begin". workbook 2 has a cell named the same thing, but sheet A is still referencing "value_begin" from workbook 1. how do i get it to reference the "value_begin" in workbook 2?
ANY help would be MUCH appreciated

I didn't know you can have two cells with the same name in a single file. Is this in '07?
why not just change the name. I thought the same way T73 did.
it's just still giving the same data as the previous workbook, and the previous workbook happens to have that particular cell named the same thing as what i need my formula to reference to
there are way too many to change; this is someone else's file, not mine, so i did not do this, but i have to work with it somehow
Write a macro, or cut the cells from the first sheet over the ones in the second sheet.
CTRL+F3 to open the Name Box
Then delete the name perscribed to the VALUE_WHATEVER_IT_IS cell so it isnt named anything. Relink 2nd sheet to the raw cell. Rename the cell back to whatever you want. It should have broken the other reference to the extraneous worksheet.
Use the audit to trail back to the reference cells. make sure there's no Workbook1!value_begin reference. You can always write a quick macro to scan all your cells it WorksheetA and replace any "Workbook1!value_begin" references to "value_begin" reference.
Sub ReplacePainInTheAssReference() Dim bcell as range, i as integer For i = each bcell in selection If instr(1, bcell.formular1c1, "workbook1!value_begin" then bcell.formular1c1 = replace(bcell.formular1c1, "workbook1!value_begin", "value_begin") end if Next i End Sub
i owe you $1MM; thanks so much!
