Macro problem

[johnsr4]

(Excel 2003) Can anyone help with a quick macro I have that is giving
me an error?
The purpose of the macro is to find all formulas on a page (range) and
increment the Column by 1. The error is on the line "cel.formula =
prefix & cel.formula & sufix"

The formulas I am changing are all references to another worksheet. Is
the problem that the formula contains an equal sign in it?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks

Sub EditFormula()
Dim Cel As Range
Dim Sufix As String

Dim Prefix As String
Prefix = "=Offset("
Sufix = ", 0, 1)"
For Each Cel In Selection
If Cel.HasFormula Then _
Cel.Formula = Prefix & Cel.Formula & Sufix
End If
Next Cel
End Sub

uI didn't test it, but _ (underline) character in line

If Cel.HasFormula Then _

is a wrong syntax, try your macro without it:
If Cel.HasFormula Then

Either that, or remove the End If after.

Thanks for the replies. I've tried both modifications, but still get
the error:
"Application-defined or object-defined error" (for the same line)
So the macro (now) looks like this:

Sub EditFormula()
Dim Cel As Range
Dim Sufix As String

Dim Prefix As String
Prefix = "=Offset("
Sufix = ", 0, 1)"

For Each Cel In Selection
If Cel.HasFormula Then
Cel.Formula = Prefix & Cel.Formula & Sufix
End If
Next
End Sub

any ideas?
Thanks

One problem at least is that the formulas selected have "=" in front of
them. So to remove them:


Cel.Formula = Prefix & Mid(Cel.Formula, 2) & Sufix

This assumes that Mid(Cel.Formula, 2) returns a legitimate cell reference.

Cel.formula will include the leading equal sign.

Maybe...

Cel.Formula = Prefix & mid(Cel.Formula,2) & Sufix

THANK YOU (both of you)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That did it. Nothing like saving a TON of manual editing.
Thanks again.
