Copy Problem
After years of happily copying Excel formulae and/or results, I now
have a problem. I'm copying from a worksheet saved in Excel 97. I'm working in Excel 2003. I open the saved worksheet and copy a cell such as: =VARPA(B3:AB3) When I paste it into a new worksheet (created in Excel 2003) the value is pasted and not the formula. Can anyone help me copy the formula? Steve |

Do you have two instances of excel running?
Open the first workbook (any way you want) then File|open the second. Then try your copy|paste. And if this doesn't apply, do you have any rows that are hidden and are copying discontiguous rows? wrote: After years of happily copying Excel formulae and/or results, I now have a problem.

Dave,
That's the answer. I had two (or more) instances of Excel running. I'm sure I must have made the same mistake in the past without noticing this strange behaviour.# Thanks, Steve |
