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:

Copying the same value, label or formula quickly into a range of selected cells.

Select your range of cells. Type the value, label or formula that you want to appear in all the selected cells and then press Ctrl+Enter.
