Default copied formulas refer to destination sheet not source sheet

If just copying cells there should be no problem.

Copying a formula like =A1+B1 will not need to be changed since it doesn't
refer to any source.

But if you are copying the Master sheet by Right-clickMove or Copy then you
will get reference to Master sheet.

One method is to do an EditReplace before copying Master sheet.
Replace what: =

With: ^^^

Copy Master sheet then reverse the editreplace in both sheets.

In a workbook, with a master sheet copied many times, how do I copy formulas
from one sheet to another and have those formulas refer to the destination
sheet rather than refering back to the source sheet. I seem to remeber this
in the distant past but can't remeber how to make these formulas refer to the
destination sheet and not the source from whence they were copied.
