I noticed in Excel there is a button for "paste special value" It
looks like a clipboard with the number 12 on it; it pastes the values.
I would like to have
something like that for pasting special - only for formulas. Is there
a
way to do that? I tried to create a macro doing that and it didn't
work. I even Googled it and found some VB code but it only pasted the
formula with the exact same column reference in another column.

I do a lot of copying and pasting and would like to click one button if

possible for copying a formula so that no formatting gets messed up.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why not try, Edit Paste Special, and then clicking the formulas radio
button?

(and please don't cross post)

i think he multiposted, not crossposted. neither is a real good idea, but, in my
opinion, if you need to do one, use crossposting. at least the replies are sent
to every ng and someone can see there was an answer posted. if it was
multiposted, someone would have to visit the ng the reply was sent to to view
it.

sometimes i see replies in this ng that say, "see the answer in your other ng
post". well, that doesn't do me any good, because i don't visit that other
newsgroup the see the reply. if it was crossposted, i would see the reply.


that's my opinion, anyway
