I noticed in Excel there is a button for "paste special value" It
looks like a clipboard with the 12 on it. I would like to have
something like that for pasting special - only 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?

That is what I do now. There is a quicker way for pasting values (the
clipboard button with the number 12 on it on the toolbar). But there
isn't any button for pasting just the formulas. Thought there might be
a macro that might do it.

Use the macro recorder to record Edit Paste Special: Formulas, then attach
it to your own button.

I already did that as I mentioned earlier in my post.
