I have 2 workbooks that I need to copy a worksheet from one to the other and still maintain formual integrity. All of the sheets are identical in both workbooks. There is 1 sheet that needs to updated on a per job (leak audit) basis. That sheet is called flow rate. The flow rate sheet has formuals in it that connect to another sheet in both workbooks (audit sheet). When I copy the flow rate sheet over to workbook B the formulas in the audit sheet break, even though it is named the same. Is it possible to move this without breaking the formulas?
Thanks

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Hi,

A simple way, convert/replace = to # in file which you want to copy. Now you can see all formulas like #Sum(A1:A52) instead of =Sum(A1:A52). Copy sheet and paste in the desired worksheet. Change/replace back # to =.

For replacing press CTRL+F, click on replace tab. Find = and replace with # and later find # and replace with =

As in formulas cell references are same as in your destination, it will work perfectly.

Try this and let us know if it works for you. Or we will find another way out.

Cheers!!!!
