Alter mulitple Vlookups at once

Guest

I have series of spreadsheets that contains a date in cell A2. In cell A1 on
each of these sheets is a Vlookup to a schedule sheet (in same workbook) that
pulls in the Theme title for that particular sheet.

The schedule layout has been changed and I need to modify each Vlookup
across 60 worksheets. Is there a quick way to modify all the worksheets at
once to change the Vlookups?

Thanks

One thing you might try is to highlight the tabs on all the worksheets
involved (Hold the 'Shift' key while clicking on the first and last
tab in a continual series), then edit the cell formula as needed. The
change should be reflected in all the highlighted worksheets.

Hi Mike,

You can do that with Find & Replace on each sheet. However, before doing that, I'd suggest giving your lookup range a defined name,
then use that as the replace value. This way, next time your lookup table changes, changing the range referred to in the defined
name will update all sheets automatically.

Cheers
