    Macro copy and paste not pasting exactly whats in cell

    Hi, the code below looks at column A for the active sheet and then copy and pastes rows based on column A to other sheets.

    problem: when I run it,I am getting a bunch of "#ref"'s because the code is not copy and pasting exactly what is on the master sheet.. I cannot post the excel sheet because it has sensitive information on it but here is an example.
    On the master sheet, in cell AB8 is: "=1694200*ReferenceSheet!J4 ". When i run the code it will copy it to the correct sheet in cell AB5 but with "=1694200*ReferenceSheet!J1 " , therefor the result: #ref . My code is not changing anything on the 'reference sheet' and I can manually change "J1" to "j4" and it works fine, but there is too much data to change manually. How can I make the data copy and paste correctly?


    On another issue I have the following:

    BUT, there are 15 sheets, and I need to do it for around 20 columns. What I am doing now is copy and pasting exactly what I posted above and changing the sheet names to the 15 sheets and then changing the columns one at a time. The result is 300 "with sheets(sheet)...(code).....End With. The procedure is too long to run. Is there a way to condense this? There are 15 sheets and the columns that i need to refer to are Z-AN.

    Thanks in advance!! :D

    Hi, hey1234,

    you either shoudl copy to the very same row, use absolut addresses for the cells or make use of Indirect - depending on the number of cells in question.

    Sadly whenever you Copy/Paste or Copy/PasteSpecial formulas (even within the same worksheet), the cell references will adjust. This is true whether you use VBA or do it manually. To avoid this use:
