Delete cells with content that don't contain the =?UTF-8?B?wqMgc3ltYm9s?=
I have a very large messy excel file that contains some data I want to isolate. The other data is unneeded and basically in the way. I want to delete/clear all the other cells that do not contain the ? pound symbol. This way I will be left with just the pricing info I need. All help appreciated

"Be careful what you wish for"
This can be done with a VBA Macro:
To enter this Macro (Sub), <alt-F11> opens the Visual Basic Editor.
Ensure your project is highlighted in the Project Explorer window.
Then, from the top menu, select Insert/Module and
paste the code below into the window that opens.
To use this Macro (Sub), <alt-F8> opens the macro dialog box. Select the macro by name, and <RUN>.
It will clear every cell that does not contain the � sign in either the text string or the numberformat string.
The caveat is that, as you requested, ALL cells that do not contain the � will be cleared. You will find that any cells that have labels, or descriptive data, but do not contain the � sign, will also be cleared.
Is this what you want?
If not, and if the cells you wish to process are, for example, numbers not formatted with the � sign, please be more specific about your data. If some of that data you wish to retain is text containing the � sign, the algorithm will be different than if the data to be retained is numeric data formatted with the � sign.
===================================================
Option Explicit
Sub ClearPoundData()
Dim rg As Range, c As Range
Const sPound As String = "�"
Set rg = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
For Each c In rg
If InStr(c.Text, sPound) = 0 And _
InStr(c.NumberFormat, sPound) = 0 Then
c.Clear
End If
Next c
End Sub

How can I copy a formula where the referenced cells have an assoc.
I want to copy a formula where the cells have an associated range name but all I get is a repeat of the original formula. I want to have formulas where the cell references change as the formula is copied. That is the purpose of Named Ranges. They do not change. They are not relative. Say Namedrange is A1 =Namedrange * B1 will change to =Namedrange * B2 if copied down column C, but Namedrange will remain the value in A1. On another note.......if your cellsrefs like B1 are not changing to B2, B3 etc. perhaps you have Calculation on Manual mode. Check Tools>Options>Calculation. ...
