Formula Question
Hello All,
I was wondering if there is a way to save my formula that references another sheet from going to #REF when the sheet is deleted and then recreated. In my main sheet called Master, I have the following formula in G1 =Roster!$D$8 When ever my Roster sheet gets deleted and rebuilt, my formula above always goes to the following =#REF!$D$8. If it is possible, how can i prevent this from happening because now what I have to do is go to every cell and change it form =REF!$D$8 to =Roster!$D$8 to pull my values over. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Argus |

Formula Question
hi,
deleteing a sheet (row or column, other) causes the formula to loose it's reference to the source data. recreating the source does not recreate the link. so....don't delete the sheet. delete the data on the sheet. it may be simpler. click the square in the upper left corner above row1 and left of column A. hit the delete key. done. rebuild the sheet.

Formula Question
hello
when ever you are linking excell sheets (i.e.,ex. =roster$d$1), a link was created between source to destination.When your changing the source file the destination file will automatically chage.so to avoid this before deleting the source file, go to the destination file and click EDIT-LINKS-BREAK LINKS-OK. If you do this procedure your destination data will not change. And you can safely delete the source file and the #ref will not shown.ok "OdAwG" wrote: Hello All, I was wondering if there is a way to save my formula that references another sheet from going to #REF when the sheet is deleted and then recreated.
