I am not too sure why the offset is causing the #VALUE problem.Is it just a
matter having to update the formula when the new sheet is added?

As to seeing your posts, I don't know what you are using to see these posts,

Get rid of the merged cells, they are more trouble than they are worth.

What is the formula that shows #VALUE, and what should it show?

Oh 3 things actually. You got rid of the upper-case message, how about
doing
the same with the subject line?

DEAR ALL
I have about 16 sheets of various calculations. In some sheets i have
links from the remaining sheets which sort of sums up my reports for
the day to the company. I did face lots of problems like, i cant copy
and paste becos cells are not identical or merged cells problems etc.
At present i have been selecting cells-copy-workbook add- paste.
After some learning through this forum, i put offset formulas so that
i dont need to write it in VB. Now the problem is when i see the sheet
which i export t has #value messages.
I will be proceeding on leave from this ship-- so pls help me quickly
in advising me how to
1. Best way to copy from a sheet which has links, merged cells to a
new sheet.
2. Is there a way to code it in VB, where once i select the cells, I
would like to copy values, formats everything except the links and
formulas.
Eagerly awaiting n pls help.

D/Bob, thnks ur quick response. For senti reasons-- u gave me the
headstart for my first post and from there I have really learning at
reg intervals. It was all fine - this copying to another sheet etc
with all the links. Then instead of fixing it thro VB, i changed it
all to excel offset function and got the values. Felt nice for a day
that it was much simpler than writing the VB code every time we change
the group of certain cargo tanks. So with urs and Mr. Dave's advice i
figured out how to put the sum of the groups in VB. Mainly I figured
out the number of tanks in each group and store it in cells. I recall
this numbers and used it with offset to get values from a ref cell.
The next day when I have to send the report - i found all the cells
are with #value error bcos the new sheet refers to the main sheet and
with the offset absent from that sheet, it gives the #value error. Ah
btw, that caps in the subject is for a quick glance over the scanning
for my post. Can u also tell me how to go to say 20th page in the
discusion forum instead of going one by one. Pls do not mind the sub
in caps-rqst.
