Default Link to range of cells, so formulas are retained

What I want to do is copy the whole range, retaining the links in the
process. This would be the equivalent of entering a formula in each
dependent cell and linking to the corresponding cell in the source worksheet.

Is it possible to do this across multiple cells (a range) in one go?


Somewhere, but I cannot find it tonight, there's a way to change ALL
nunber in a worksheet to Absolute ( with the $ sign in front). Then
when you copy they don't change. If you want them dynnamic again you
can use the Find menu / Find / Replace and put $ in the Find window
and leave the Replace With window blank. The Find Replace won't work
when there's nothing but a blank space to change.
