Copy and paste values, formatting and formulas
I have a couple of problems.
If I try to copy a formula from one workbook to another new one to use the formula in the new one it adds the name of the originating spreadsheet as reference. I have to go through each formula and delete the name reference to the original spreadsheet. How do I prevent that? Next problem; when copying a workskeet that contains cell formating, color etc how to I copy the values and formatting but not the formulas? |
Copy and paste values, formatting and formulas
Ok, to copy a formula from one worksheet to another, without it keeping a
reference (or link) to the orginial document / file, then do this. Copy the formula in the original file Move to the cell in the new worksheet and go to Edit / Paste Special. When the window opens, select the radio button next to formula. Press OK. As far as copying a worksheet to another file without taking the data with it, I dont have a good answer for you. If you're using the same worksheet all the time and do this often, you might want to consider writing a macro to delete the data so you wont have to do it manually. Hope this helps. -- Just a fellow Excel user here to help when I can..... "Joe M." wrote: I have a couple of problems.

Copy and paste values, formatting and formulas
If you are copying just a few formulas, copy them from the source formula bar
and paste into the formula bar on target sheet in target workbook. If you have many to do I would suggest this method. Select all formula cells then EditReplace What: = With: ^^^ Replace all. Copy to the target then reverse the process on both books or just the target and close source without saving. The second question requires a two-step operation. 1. Copy and paste specialvaluesokesc 2. Paste SpecialformatsOKEsc. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Fri, 29 Feb 2008 08:19:03 -0800, Joe M. wrote: I have a couple of problems.
