    How to not reference original excel document when copy+pasting sheet references

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to copy+paste a whole bunch of formulas along the lines of...

    =MAX(Sheet2!A1:A5)

    from one excel file to another,

    but whenever I do,

    I get.. a reference to '[Original.xlsm]Sheet2'

    instead of Sheet2 in the new document.

    How can I set it so that when I copy+paste all the formulas, Sheet2 in the new excel document is referenced?

    Thanks!

    You can either copy and paste the contents or after you have copied the formulas, use find and replace to get rid of the workbook links.
