problem copying formulas
Help - I am a little flummoxed because I use Excel a lot and this is the
first time this has happened. When I try to copy a small worksheet with formulas from one one spreadsheet to another, the formulas are converted to values (as if I used "paste special" and checked values.) This now occurs whether I try to copy with a sheet, to another sheet in the same file or another file. It occurs whether I just select the work I did or click on the upper left hand corner and select the whole sheet. The only solution that works partially is to use "Paste Special" and check "formulas", but that still does not preserve any of the other formatting (column width etc...) Have I hit a switch somewhere, and how do I switch it back? I really appreciate any help I can get with this. |

problem copying formulas
Hello Dan,
First the workaround... after pasting FORMULAS choose PASTE SPECIAL again and choose FORMATS to copy the format too. Now to the real problem... How about Copy and Paste in the same WORKSHEET? Does that work? Does this happens with a particular workbook or even with new ones you create? It usually happens when two workbooks are open in different instances of Excel. Since you are able to use PASTE SPECIAL and having problems in the same workbook then that can not be the reason. Which version of Excel are you using? It should not matter though - I did not find any setting in Excel 2007 which will change the behaviour to what you are experiencing. Hope someone else is able to help you out.
