How to copy formula to another file
 

In Excel 2007 if I copy a formula from one file and pate it in another, only
the result is copied.

If I go to "paste special" it is disabled. I can paste between sheets on the
same file fine.

Any suggestions?

The usual cause of this is having two workbooks open in separate instances
of Excel.

Close one instance and open both workbooks in one instance.
