Copy and paste

If I copy and paste a spreadsheet will it copy over all the formulas in that spreadsheet?

RE: copy and paste

Hello Kerry,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Excel course with BEST Training.
Thank you for your question regarding Copy and paste

If you copy and paste and entire worksheet, making sure that you paste it into the exact same cell references, then the formulas will remain the same.

When you move a formula, the cell references within the formula do not change. When you copy a formula, the cell references may change based on the type of reference used.

-Select the cell that contains the formula.
-Verify that the cell references used in the formula will produce the result you want. Switch to the type of reference you need.
-To move a formula, use an absolute reference

Absolute cell reference: In a formula, the exact address of a cell, regardless of the position of the cell that contains the formula. An absolute cell reference takes the form $A$1.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Richard
Microsoft Office Specialist Trainer

Excel tip:

Create a hyperlink navigation sheet

In large files, it is often useful to have a front sheet with hyperlinks to the key databases and summary calculations in your spreadsheet. Hyperlinks can save you and (more importantly) those less familiar with your spreadsheet a great deal of pointless scrolling between and within sheets.

Hyperlinks appear as underlined text and can jump to any cell or range name in your file. You can also use hyperlinks to jump to other files.

To create a hyperlink to a location in the active workbook: (1) Select the cell that contains the text you want to use as the hyperlink and choose Insert|Hyperlink.(2)Click Place in this document.(3)Choose the sheet you want to link to or the range name from the list of "Defined Names".(4)If necessary, type the cell reference in the Type in the cell reference box. (5) Click OK.
