Default How to copy an array without changing relative cell refferences?

Hello specialists!
How to copy an array to an array of the same size without changing relative
cell references in the formulas?
Best regards,
Dima

Default How to copy an array without changing relative cell refferences?

One way is to change the formulas so that Excel will not recognize them as
formulas, do the copy and paste, then change them back.
Do this:
Select the range (the array) that you want to copy.
Click on Edit - Replace.
In the "Find what:" box, type "=" without the quotes.
In the "Replace with:" box type "Dmitry" without the quotes.
Click OK.
Copy and paste.
Now select the new range and reverse the process.
Done

Just another take on Otto's suggestion.

Using Dmitry may not be the best solution for you. If you have your name in any
other cell, you may mess those up when you're doing the second half.

I try to use a unique value ($$$$$=) when I do it.

I once suggested a generic unique string and the poster used the apostrophe.

And that was a mess (for the poster)--not so much for me <bg.

Dependents on the target destination will lose their precedents if I
override the target destination by pasting the array.

I was wrong that Dependents will lose their precedents.

Maybe you just want to Edit|Cut instead of Edit|copy???

If you want the dependent cells to point at the new location, I think you're
going to have to use Edit|Cut.

But try it and see if it works.

The dependent cells point at the new location now, before Edit|Cut. Will

I think I'm confused about what you want.

Maybe you could just do some small experiments to see what works best.
