eliminate data entered to a worksheet that copies to another work.
 
When posting data to one worksheet, in an Excel file with multiple
worksheets, the data from the posted worksheet will appear in one or more of
the other worksheet. I had this problem when copying a Lotus wksht to Excel
but I have now experienced the same problem when setting up a new Excel file
with multiple wkshts.

Hi

sounds to me like your sheets are getting grouped ... before pasting, ensure
only the sheet tab of the sheet you want to paste to is white (better still
right mouse click on it and choose ungroup sheets if it is an option).

Do you have links in the other sheet(s) like =Sheet1!A1 or similar?

Or do you have two or more sheets "grouped"? i.e. do you see [group] in the
titles bar?

If so, right-click on a sheet tab and "Ungroup"
