Default Splitting a file with lookup functions into smaller parts

I have a large file I want to split into several smaller pages. It has the
VLOOKUP function in it that refers to specific pages within the worksheet.
What is the fastest way to save one page of the worksheet without losing all
the values when I delete the pages that the VLOOKUP function refers to?

You can select everything, click copy, and then do a Paste Special and select
Values.

Highlight the cells with VLOOKUP functions, and do Edit/Copy. Then,
do Edit/Paste Special, and select Values (or Values and Number
Formats, if appropriate). Then, you can right-click on the worksheet
tab, select Move or Copy, in the dropdown select "New Workbook", and
uncheck the "Create a Copy" box if you don't want it to stay in the
original large workbook.
