Default copying formula

When i copy a formula from old.xls to new.xls
then it shows the old values

=((('[Old.xls]Eng-clusters'!$N$13+'[Oud.xls]Eng-clusters'!$N$53)/4)+('[Old.xls]Eng-clusters'!$N$40+'[Old.xls]Eng-clusters'!$N$101))*[Old.xls]Algemeen!$E$55

How can i change this that the new file name is used

Default copying formula

Try copying the formula text from the formula bar instead of copying the
cell.

Default copying formula

Hi derksj

If it is one formula add a ' before it and copy it to the new workbook
Then remove the '

If there a lot of formulas you can use edit replace
And replace
=
with
qqq for example

Copy the cells to the new workbook and use EditReplace to chnage qqq to =
