Thank you for the prompt reply - but I have tried exactly that (and a bunch
of other things) and it didn't work. That places the formula into the a3 (or
b3 or c3) cell - but as TEXT. It's not active. It's just
'=indirect(etc...). I need something at will let me copy a FORMULA from a
dropdown, not its result - and not its text image.
