Copying formula to another workbook
I want to use the same formula in another workbook e.g. A1+sheet2!b1, however
when I copy it it links to the other workbook e.g. when I paste I get [otherworkbook]'a1+Sheet2!B1 How can I copy just the formula so it works in the same cells in my new workbook |
Copying formula to another workbook
Try copying from the formula bar and pasting into the formula bar.

If you're only copying one formula, you can copy it out of the formula line
(not sure what it's official name is--the area above the worksheet) instead of copying and pasting the cell itself. Just make sure to paste the formula into the formula line as well. Obviously, this will be cumbersome if you've got a lot of copying and pasting to do. So, if that's the case, do all your copying and pasting (don't worry about the workbook references), then do a find/replace to eliminate all references to [otherworkbook].

One other method if needing to copy multiple formulas.
In source workbook select your range of formulas. EditReplace what: = with: xxx= Replace all. Copy these amended formulas to the target workbook and reverse the editreplace. Close the source workbook without saving or reverse the editreplace there also. I prefer the close/no save Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Fri, 27 Jan 2006 08:12:03 -0800, BekkiM wrote: If you're only copying one formula, you can copy it out of the formula line (not sure what it's official name is--the area above the worksheet) instead of copying and pasting the cell itself.
