Will a macro solution be OK with you?
In your case you would run the Sub Relative()
Select the entire sheet using CTRL +a(twice in 2003) then run the macro.
Ignores cells without formulas.
Sub Absolute()
'$A$1
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.HasFormula Then
cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(cell.Formula, _
xlA1, xlA1, xlAbsolute)
End If
Next
End Sub
Sub AbsoluteRow()
'A$1
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.HasFormula Then
cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(cell.Formula, _
xlA1, xlA1, xlAbsRowRelColumn)
End If
Next
End Sub
Sub AbsoluteCol()
'$A1
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.HasFormula Then
cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(cell.Formula, _
xlA1, xlA1, xlRelRowAbsColumn)
End If
Next
End Sub
Sub Relative()
'A1
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.HasFormula Then
cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(cell.Formula, _
xlA1, xlA1, xlRelative)
End If
Next
End Sub

I am working in a spreadsheet that has many formulas that are absolute
references. Is there a way to turn off all absolute formulas in a spreadsheet
at once? I am using Excel 2003, SP2. Thanks.
