I immediately see two problems with that:
- Let's say we have two sheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2. We are on Sheet1 and
delete A1. Now we want to search for A1 in other cells in Sheet1. If we are
searching for A1, A$1, $A1 and $A$1 we will also find Sheet2.A1, $Sheet2.A1
and so on, which we probably don't want. You also probably want to search
for A1 in Sheet2, but this time you don't want to find A1, $A1 and the
others, since those are A1 on Sheet2
- Maybe cell A1 is associated with a name, then you need to search for
that too.
Maybe it can be done with regular expressions though, but how to find
Sheet1.A1 but not Sheet2.A1?
[^.]\${0,1}A\${0,1}1 finds A1, $A1, A$1 and $A$1 but unfortunately also
Sheet2.$A1. Seems to be hard to come around that problem, but maybe someone
here can do it.
Another way would be writing a macro for it.
Seems like Shift+F5 is supposed to be another way to do it. At least it
seems to work in my simple test sheet that I did for this question, but
when I tried it in a more complex one I didn't quite understand the result.
It seems to react to references on other sheets, but I don't understand
what to do with the information I'm given, a 45° rotated blue square in a
random (?) cell.
Kind regards
