Replace Named Ranges in Formulas with Cell References

This tool replaces named ranges in cell formulas with their actual cell references on the selected worksheets.

For example:

• If cell C10 is named quantity and a formula contains =A1*quantity, it becomes =A1*C10.
• If the named range refers to another sheet (e.g., 'Input Values'!C10), the sheet name will be included in the formula: =A1*'Input Values'!C10.

This is helpful when simplifying formulas, auditing spreadsheets by making references more transparent, or preparing files for users unfamiliar with named ranges.
Some teams and organizations prefer or require raw cell references for documentation, validation, or archiving.
