How do I copy formulas from one wkb to another w/out linkng them?
I want to copy a formula from one work sheet to another without the formula
making a link in it... I am using the latest excel version. Is there any way to make it "NOT" insert the link to the copied spreadsheet? |

Dear Tomcat,
Easy way of doing it is, edit the formula in formula bar, then copy the formula as as plain text and then paste it to the place you wish to paste. Excel will simply understand it as currently typed formula. Rgds, PDS. "tomcat" wrote: I want to copy a formula from one work sheet to another without the formula making a link in it...

If you want to paste a group of cells as formulas (unchanged)
Right Click Menus (Context Menus) in Excel http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/rightclick.htm CopyFormula and PasteFormula are the macros, but since you have to install a macro and put something into your AutoOpen, you might as well consider all of them. The concept was Chip Pearson's, and was modified by Drew Patterson but there were errors and you would have to read the entire thread so I made it easier and included macros of my own as well. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Pritesh Shah" wrote in message ...

If I'm only doing a few, I just delete the equal sign which turns the
formula into TEXT and then it copies fine, then just re-insert the equal sign to turn it back into a formula again..... Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "tomcat" wrote in message ...

Hi Chuck,
If I'm only doing a few And, if it a common task, see the last section of Chip Pearson's 'Working With The Windows Clipboard Page' I followed Chip's suggestion and have frequent cause, silently, to thank him as I right-click. --- Regards, Norman "CLR" wrote in message ...

Thank you - so far this has been the easiest method to use...but it seems SO
odd that sometimes I can copy formulas without making links to the copied page and other times it makes them... almost like there should be a "relative switch" somewhere. K.
