Hi Maryann,

Thank you for your Excel question.

Generally, everytime when you copy & paste a cell the formula carries over to the destination. However, it is important to make sure the references are still valid on the destination sheet.

For example, if on the original sheet, there is a formula in cell C1 reading =A1+B1.
If you then copy this formula but paste it on a new sheet in cell A1. You will not get a valid answer as there are no data above it for any calculation.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Katie (Microsoft Certified Trainer)

Excel tip:

The dual nature of toolbar buttons

Many toolbar buttons are dual purpose, though the two purposes are often linked in some way. For example, Align Left aligns a cell's contents to the left of the cell. However, hold down Shift and press the Align Left button: Excel aligns the cell contents to the right.
You may respond: So what? Well, you can reduce the number of buttons on your toolbar to make your screen less cluttered and allow more room for, perhaps, some of your own commands. After all, what's the point of an Align Right button when Shift+Align Left does the same thing?
