copy worksheet to another workbook
I have a workbook with a worksheet that referances other worksheets within
the same workbook. When I copy this worksheet to another workbook, it still referances the old workbook....instead of referancing the new workbook. The worksheets have the same name. How do I make it referance the new workbook? -- john |

copy worksheet to another workbook
I like to do this:
Change the formulas to strings, copy the ranges, paste the ranges, and then convert them back to formulas. Select the range to copy in the original workbook edit|replace what: = (equal sign) with: $$$$$ replace all Then copy|paste. Since you're just pasting strings (not formulas), they won't point back to the old workbook. After you paste, do the opposite: Select the pasted range edit|replace what: $$$$$ with: = replace all Do it for both ranges. And don't forget to fix the original workbook (or close it without saving). jtaiariol wrote: I have a workbook with a worksheet that referances other worksheets within the same workbook.

doing.....copying the range to the other workbook, options-show formulas, replace [old workbook name] with "nothing".....similar to your solution.....I guess I thought there was an easier way. -- john "Dave Peterson" wrote: I like to do this: Change the formulas to strings, copy the ranges, paste the ranges, and then convert them back to formulas.

After you copy and paste, you could just change the link to the new workbook:
