    Applying absolute cell referencing to many cell in Excel

    Hi, I know that you press F4 to change the cell referencing to absolute, relative or mixed. But is there a way to select a range of cells to apply the change all at once instead of having to choose each one and pressing F4 for each. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Re: Applying absolute cell referencing to many cell in Excel

    I tried a simple formula: =A1+A2+A3+A4. I selected all cell refs and pressed F4. All of the refs turned to absolute. This is as far as changing the references within *a single formula*. If you change the refs in a single formula and then copy this cell, the copied cell refs will inherit the refs of the original formula.

    Here are a few macros for you to choose from.Select your range of cells and run the macro.
    Code:
    Sub Absolute()
    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()
    Dim cell As Range
    For Each cell In Selection
    If cell.HasFormula Then
    cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula _
    (cell.Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlAbsRowRelColumn)
    Next
    End Sub\
    
    Sub AbsoluteCol()
    Dim cell As Range
    For Each cell In Selection
    If cell.HasFormula Then
    cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula _
    (cell.Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlRelRowAbsColumn)
    Next
    End Sub
    
    Sub Relative()
    Dim cell As Range
    For Each cell In Selection
    If cell.HasFormula Then
    cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula _
    (cell.Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlRelative)
    Next
    End Sub
