Excel: Copying A Formula
How do I copy this formula ='Daily Takings'!C29-B7-D7-E7 from a cell in
one workbook to a cell in another totaly unrelated workbook without the formula altering to accomatate its new position and without it relating back to its old workbook. At the moment the formula when moved adds the title of the old workbook at the start of the formula so that it ends up looking like this:- ='[NEW A 10th Amended Accounts Cental Cafe 19.7.09.to18.07]Daily Takings'!C29-B7-D7-E7 I have put the $ sign before the letters/numbers like so ='Daily Takings'!$C$29-$B$7-$D$7-$E$7 and this works with that part of the formula but what do I do about the:- ='Daily Takings'! part. Hope that all makes sense. -- Thanks Becky |

Excel: Copying A Formula
If I understand your question correctly, select the cell and then select all
the text in the Formula Bar, press Ctrl+C (or click Edit/Copy menu item) to copy the text into the Clipboard, go to your new location and press Ctrl+V (or click Edit/Paste menu item) to paste that text into the cell. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Rebecca" wrote in message ...
