Copy formulas between workbooks without copying links
Great tip, works a treat and saved me a pile of work when I'd mucked up the
formulas on a workbook that I'd used as the template for 15 others.

One simple method is to use EditReplace a couple times.
EditReplace
What: =
With: ^^^
Replace all.
Copy then reverse the process on the target book.
Close the source book without saving or reverse there also.

I want to copy formulas from a range in worksheet A in workbook A to a
range in worksheet B in workbook B.
When i use the clipboard to copy and paste special by formulas, I
often create unwanted external links in workbook B (eg. some names in
workbook B could refer to the ranges in workbook A now).
While i could possible fix this later by looking for the external
links and delete them, I'm looking for a simple way to avoid it.
One possible way is do it in VBA:
workbooks(2).sheets(1).range("A1:A10").formula =
workbooks(1).sheets(1).range("A1:A10").formula
but looks like this only works for non-array formulas
thanks a lot, any help is much appreciated.
