how to copy an excel sheet from one xls to another without links
I want to use the move/copy worksheet function to copy a worksheet from one
workbook to another. When I do this I want it to Not refer to the workbook it was copied from in the formulas and lookups. I have tried copy/paste special also and it doesn't work. |

Save workbook1 and leave open. Open workbook2. With workbook1 active, right-click on the sheet tab you want to send to workbook2. Select "Move or Copy" and select workbook2 from "to book". Do not select "create a copy". Hit OK and it's done. Go back to workbook1 and close without saving. Now do whatever you want with workbook2.

I tried this but it still refers to the second workwook in the formula for a
lookup. It copies as: =VLOOKUP(A11,'N:\Blank Design Sheets\[BlankWorkBook03-11-05.xls]SRNL'!$A$2:$B$265,2) When I want it to copy: =VLOOKUP(A11,SRNL!$A$2:$B$265,2) "Gord Dibben" wrote: Anne Save workbook1 and leave open.

That is because you are referring to a sheetname in your original formula. My suggestion did not take that into account. Try this one... In worksheet to be copied hit CTRL + A(twice in 2003) to select all cells. EditReplace what: = with: zzz Replace all. Copy the sheet to other workbook. Note: other workbook must have also have the sheet named SRNL. Reverse the EditReplace steps.
