Paste Special Formula Multiply feature doesn't work anymore
Has anyone noticed that the "Paste Special - Formula - multiply" feature
does not work and it works instead the same as "Paste Special - Values - multiply"? In Excel in 2003 I was able to copy a formula like '=$A$1' then "Paste Special - Formula - multiply" onto a second cell (call it A2=$Z$1) and get a new formula in A2 = $Z$1*$A$1. Example: Z1 = 5 A1 = $Z$1 A2 = 100 Copy cell A1 & click cell A2 In Excel 2003, "Paste Special - Formula - multiply" would result in cell A2 becoming =100*$Z$1 In Excel 2007, "Paste Special - Formula - multiply" is resulting in cell A2 becoming =500 (inherent calc being 100*5) This suggests that Excel 2007 has a bug in feature "Paste Special - Formula - multiply" because it works instead as Excel 2007, "Paste Special - Values - multiply" Has anyone found a solution from Microsoft. I can create a macro but I use to use that feature a lot and don't want to create a macro every time. Help will be appreciated. Thanks. |
Paste Special Formula Multiply feature doesn't work anymore
Hi,
This is a known issue, and pretty annoying for some of us. Other than writing VBA code to do it I don't know if there is a workaround. Here is a little code you would attach to a VBA user form (the rngFrom and rngTo are the name of two refEdit controls. Private Sub btnOK_Click() Dim X X = Mid(Range(Me.rngFrom).Formula, 2, 10) Range(Me.rngTo) = Range(Me.rngTo).Formula & "*" & X Unload Me End Sub Private Sub btnCancel_Click() Unload Me End Sub You also need to display the form with code like this: Sub PasteSpecialMultiply() frmPasteSpecialM.Show End Sub -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
