Copy Formula Problem
I am trying to copy a formula from one cell to another but when I paste
it into the new cell the column and row number changes to the new cell that I am pasting it into. How can I make it stay the same as the original ? Thanks - George |

Copy Formula Problem
Hi George
Instead of copying the cell, then pasting, highlight the cell, but then mark the formula in the formula bar at the top of the sheet and copy that, then press escape. Now, navigate to your destination cell and paste. -- Regards Roger Govier "George" wrote in message ...

Copy Formula Problem
You may also want to consider using $ in the formulae. A $ prefix fixes that part of the cell reference so a formula of =$A$10 will copy and paste (or drag) as $A$10. Whereas =A$10 will go to B$10 C$10 etc and =$A10 will go to $A11 $A12 etc hope this helps -- tony h ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tony h's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=21074 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=547106 |
