Hi everyone,
When I copy a whole worksheet in another workbook, if the original
worksheet has formulas (like lookups) that refer to some range
another of its worksheets, the new workbook formulas use the original
range in the original workbook. Is it possible to copy the sheet
without the link or if not, to unlink the formulas so that they refer
to the same range in the target workbook? I know that I can edit the
formula by looking for the apostrophe characters (') and closed
bracket (]) by removing some stuff in between, but I wander if there
is not an easier way. The formula I get is:
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],'[Original workbook.xls]Table'!R1C1:R6C2,2,FALSE)"
when I want:
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],Table!R1C1:R6C2,2,FALSE)"
or
"=VLOOKUP(A1,Table!$A$1:$B$6,2,FALSE)"
Thanks.
