Paste Special Question
Hi,
I am pasting cells from a worksheet from one xls file into another xls file. After I paste the cells, the formulas reference the source xls file. Is there a way to "Paste Special" to keep the formulas, but NOT include the xls referenced file name? Example Formula: ='Show Approval'!L51 Current Result of Paste: ='[SourceFile.xls]Show Approval'!L51 After paste, I want the formula to remain as: ='Show Approval'!L51 Thank you! |

I had a file that for some reason wanted to look in a
temp file for the links and I solved it by using this: Try highlighting the columns and use replace option Find:[SourceFile.xls] Replace: (leave this blank) Hit Replace all Hope it works for you. You may want to make a back up before doing this. -----Original Message----- Hi, I am pasting cells from a worksheet from one xls file into another xls file.

One more way that may work.
change your formulas to text copy|paste as text change your text back to formulas (in both workbooks) I like to select my range edit|replace what: = (equal sign) with: $$$$$$ (some unique string, not used) replace all copy|paste Edit|Replace what: $$$$$ (that unique string) with: = (equal sign) replace all (remember to do it both workbooks.)
