How to move a formula from one sheet to another

    How to move a formula from one sheet to another

    Hello,

    I was wondering if anyone knows a way to move a formula from one sheet
    to another such that when the formula is moved to the new sheet, it
    still points to the first sheet.

    For example, on sheet 1, i have a formula in cell B1 = A1 + A2

    I want to be able to copy/move the formula in cell B1 to sheet 2 such
    that it would still reference cells A1 and A2 on sheet 1. Is there
    anyway way/trick to do this other than adding 'sheet 1' and absolute
    references to every formula i want to move?

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    scott

    The cheat's way would be to use [Ctrl]+"¬" to display the actual formulae.
    Copy the formulae to the new sheet and then use Find & Replace to edit the reference prefixing each one with the sheet reference.

    eg =A1 would become =Sheet1!A1

    To switch Excel back to normal mode, use [Ctrl]+"¬" again.
