copy formula
I have two nearly identical workbooks...one is a revision of the other.
They're names, for the sake of discussion, are Book1 and Book1_rev. They have the same number of sheets and the same sheet names. If I have a formula in Book1: +Sheet!A1 and copy it to Book2 I get the name of the workbook (Book1). I know I can edit the formula but is there a setting I can change that will not do it that way? |

One suggestion. Hit F2 to get in edit mode , then copy the formula. When you paste it, the exact same formula will be pasted. |

copy formula
One method.
Select all cells to copy. EditReplace What: = With: ^^^ Replace all. Copy to Book2 then reverse the process in both Books or just close Book1 without saving.
