MS Excel。 删除部分公式，该公式在整个单元格范围内都会变化

Question

I had this problem: I wanted to delete part of formula which varied across a range of cells ( E12, E13, E14, .. ) so I wasn't able to use "Find and replace". Specifically, I wanted to delete the second VLOOKUP function from the formula below and replace "Month7-15" with "Month6-15":

Formula to edit:

= IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E12, 'Month7-15'!$A$5:$B$353, 2, FALSE) - VLOOKUP(E12, 'Month7-15'!$A$5:$B$353, 3, FALSE), "no data")

Answer 1

Same guy as above

1. Firstly, in the initial Excel workbook, I hit Ctrl + H on the selected column (same applies to row) and replaced "Month7-15" with "Month6-15"
2. Secondly, with the column selected, I hit Ctrl + Tilde, copied and paste the formulas in Notepadd++
3. Thirdly, in Notepad++, i found and replaced "=" with "", so I won't have any equal signs and copied the results to a new Excel workbook.
4. Next, in this Excel workbook I used REPLACE function and declared its parameters such as my second VLOOKUP function will be deleted. Because my range of cells was so big, this REPLACE didn't work after index exceeded row 100 - so, I had FALSEE instead of FALSE . I solved this in the next point.
5. From Excel, I copied the edited quasi-functions, pasted them in Notepad++. I introduced the equal sign by find and replace: "IFERR" with "= IFERR". I solved the issue of FALSEE by find and replace to FALSE
6. Lastly, I copied the functions from Notepad++ to the initial Excel workbook and it saved me hours of work of replacing manually the undesired part of formula in the function.

NB. I couldn't just use one formula to drag it down as many rows I had because I had different references as well as hard-coded values for some rows.

Hope this helps people.
