Renaming cells across entire sheet

Hi All,

I have a workbook with a lot of hardcoded formulas, many referring to different sheets. In order to clarify the formulas, I retroactively changed some of the inputs to named cells. The formulas, however, still appear as numbered cell references, and not named cells - is there a command to universally change the numbered cell references to the new cell names? Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Go to the menu Formulas>Define Name>Apply Names (found in Define Name dropdown menu)
That allows you to select the name that you want to propagate through the formulas in the sheet.

Hope this helps.
