Copy sheets from A to B without reference
 

Hi all,

I know that when you copy a sheet from a workbook to another workbook
references to the original cells are built. I have written a marco t
remove the references, but it looks stupid. Therefore, is that any wa
not to copy the reference to the new workbook?

Any help is appreciated

Why don't you show us your "stupid" macro? It might then be easier t
correct.

Another option is to copy the cells instead of copying the sheet

Here the stupid code comes:


Sub OFA_Remove_References()
Dim pos1 As Integer
Dim pos2 As Integer
Dim temp1 As String
Dim temp2 As String
Dim temp3 As String
Dim c As Range

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For Each c In Selection
If c.Value < "" And InStr(1, c.Formula, "VLOOKUP"
vbTextCompare) 0 Then
pos1 = InStr(1, c.Formula, "'", vbTextCompare) 'First '
pos2 = InStr(pos1 + 1, c.Formula, "'", vbTextCompare
'Second '

If pos1 0 And pos2 0 Then
'remove the reference
temp1 = Left(c.Formula, pos1 - 1) 'get the first part
temp2 = Right(c.Formula, Len(c.Formula) - pos2 + 5
'get sheet name
temp3 = Right(c.Formula, Len(c.Formula) - pos2) 'ge
the later part

c.Formula = temp1 & Left(temp2, 4) & temp3
End If
End If
Next c

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Su

Something that have to remind my saviour:

1) the name of each sheet is of length 4
2) most of the cell in the sheet use vlookup() function and the whol
sheet can be considered as a template

Thanks
