How to Edit Formulas in Excel

Using Macros to Add Rounding

To quickly edit multiple formulas to include rounding, you can use a macro with the Insert_Rounding Sub command. This macro appends "Round(" at the start and "),2" at the end of an existing formula, effectively rounding the result to two decimal places.

Changing Cell References in Formulas

Cell references in Excel formulas can be adjusted to refer to different cells or ranges. This is essential for recalculating values when the data is spread across multiple cells or worksheets. Editing the cell reference within a formula updates the values that Excel computes.

Modifying Array Formulas for Dynamic Ranges

To make an array formula self-adjusting with the number of rows, use the INDIRECT function combined with COUNTA. The formula INDIRECT("$C$1:C"&COUNTA(C:C)) dynamically counts non-empty cells in column C to define the range's end point. This technique ensures that the array formula adapts as data is added or removed.
