help with Name Manager and bulk replacement for part of the 'Refers To' formula...

[kbishop94]

I need to shorten and remove part of the formula where its being directed to another workbook and just leave the specific cell reference for each one.

so instead of each named range being:

='C:\Users\kbishop\Desktop\[Seatex Incident Log (64b) 3-8-24-16.xlsm]SUMY'!$A$3:$B$51

each one would only state:

='SUMY'!$A$3:$B$51

I cant get this to work in the add on "Named Manager 4.5" Is this possible to do with this? Is there another way?

(I have over 800 of these to do and doing them one-by-one is not an option!)




It looks like this is feature that I need that would do what I need it to do...


but says it isn't available... (is this correct and would be the feature that i need for it to do what I am describing? is there any other way?) Thanks

I haven't used JKP's Name Manager and perhaps he will see your post and respond, in the meantime assuming the references you want to convert all start with ='C this might work for you.

Sub RemoveExternalRef()

    Dim nm As Name
    Dim sTemp As String
   
    For Each nm In ActiveWorkbook.Names
        If Left(nm.RefersTo, 3) = "='C" Then
            sTemp = Replace(nm.RefersTo, Mid(nm.RefersTo, 3, InStr(nm.RefersTo, "]") - 2), "")
            nm.RefersTo = sTemp
        End If
    Next nm

End Sub

Yes, AFAIK the feature that you are trying to get to work is only activated in Name Manager Pro, which is part of FastExcel
