Hi,
I have a bunch of forumla's in a worksheet and when I copy either the tab or
select the entire worksheet and paste it into a new workbook it always
references the originals worksheet. How can I copy and past formula's from
one worksheet into another workbook exactly the way it is. Esentially an
exact clone.

Thanks

Hmmm, I found from other posts that it seems the Find/Replace is the only way
to do it. I can't believe that there isn't a way in Excel to tell it to copy
and paste exactly. Mabey holding down a certain key on the keyboard, mabey
standing on your head while pasting??

One way is to copy the formula from within the formula bar of the source
sheet and then paste it within the formula bar of the other sheet. It's
manual but if you have only a couple of top row formulas to "clone
(afterwhich the top row can be filled down), then this would suffice.

Thanks Max. I actually have a lot of formulas so I guess the Find/Replace is
the way to do it. But I also have drop down boxes and they too reference the
other worksheet. If I right click my drop down and select Format Control in
the Input Range field it references the other workbook. The Find/Replace
doesn't Find/Replace it there! How do I do that? I have a lot of these drop
down's.

Thanks

Just some thoughts, Ivano.

To start off the "cloning",
how about simply saving the current file as another filename
then start the "dressing up" from there

I've followed this route before. Not perfect, but at least it cuts down
re-building similar files from scratch whenever required.
