keep cell reference
 

hi,

i have a cell in sheet_new with a formula in cell A1:

= sheet1!C2

i would like to know how the cell A1 can keep this formula even if sheet1 is
deleted, because it may be possible to delete the sheet1 and later add it
back, so when it is added back, i want the formula remembered/restored.

thanks in advance,
geebee

keep cell reference
 

This formula should work for you...
=IF(ISERROR(INDIRECT("Sheet1!A1")), "No Sheet1", INDIRECT("Sheet1!A1"))
--
HTH...

basically just set up a macro that adds a sheet and then the formula
maybe give some more info as to what you're doing, if this doesn't help

Sub Add_Sheet()
Worksheets.Add after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
Range("A1").Formula = "=Sheet1!C2"
End Sub

Unless sheet1!a1 contains an error <vbg:

=IF(ISERROR(CELL("Address",INDIRECT("'Sheet1'!A1") )),
"No Sheet1","yourformulahere")

Watch your double quotes:

=indirect("test1!f20")
