Chimelle

Text to columns 2007
 
Greetings all!

I am working with an 07 Excel spreadsheet and would like to use the Text to
Columns feature. It is working just fine. However, I'd like to take it one
step further and have the destination cell be on a separate spreadsheet.
When I change the destination, I get an error message that says Destination
reference is not valid.

Here is what I have listed for the destination: =Sheet2!$A$2

Thanks for your help!

The destination has to be on the same sheet, even using range names on
another sheet which sometimes works.

Nick,

Thanks for the information! I guess I'll just paste on the same sheet and
then copy to new destination if required.
