Copying Excel formulas between sheets

H

Hoz

I am currently working on a multiple sheet excel workbook. There are two
pages for each month of the year. The first page of each month has data
typed in. The second page of each month has formulas that reference the
first page. I have finished the month of January and wanted to copy the
formulas from January page 2, to February page 2, March page 2 , etc. When I
do this, February's formula page (page 2), that has formulas copied form
January page 2, references January's page 1 of data, i want the copied
formulas to reference February's page 1 of data, not January's page 1. Is
there anyway to do this? It would save me a lot of time duplicating
formulas.

Hi Hoz,

after you copy the formulas to the destination worksheets select the cells
in which you have the wrong link to the January worksheet and from menu
Edit, Replace in the Find box type January and in the Replace one type
February, March, (i.e. the corresponding sheet tab names for those months)
and so on depending on the month you are working on...

(I'm not sure of names of menus, options and commands, because
translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Will that editing trick also work if you want to change values in the
formula? Let's say you have a =5 in your formula and you want to change
it to =7 but, you don't want to edit each cell individually, how could
you copy one formula into multiple cells, and then be able to change
the =values in the cells without changing the cells the formula
references to?
It would help me out A LOT!
