Getting Sheets Copied From One Workbook to Another Without ....?

[Mhz]

Hello, I have a situation where I want to move 3 sheets from on
workbook to another. The Problem is that the sheets appears to carr
their File Path with them creating a Problem for my formulas within th
destination sheet..

Is there a way to keep the Formulas in tact to represent th
destination sheet?

The Workbooks have the same Data, but 3 sheets from the source workboo
need to be inserted in the destination workbook without paths in th
formulas leading back to the source workbook (file).

eg.

Source workbook sheet1 A1 Reads:

=IF(DAY14!B33>0,DAY14!C33,"")

When it is copied to the Destination Worksheet it Reads:

=IF('[JULY CALLS CREATION BU9 TESTING.xls]DAY14!B33>0,'[JULY CALL
CREATION BU9 TESTING.xls]DAY14!C33,"")

I modified the above formula slightly to remove the Reference errors
but I just want to show basically what is happening...

Thanks for any help here..

Not sure what happens with the source spreadsheet when you export the 3
sheets. Depending on this, you may be able to use SAVE AS, then delete
the sheets you don't want, rather than try to export the ones you want
to keep. This should solve the problem, but it will depend on what you
want to do with the source sheet after the export.

Some thoughts ..

.. The Problem is that the sheets appears to carry
their File Path with them creating a Problem
for my formulas within the destination sheet [book]

Think it's because the formulas on the sheets within the source book to be
moved over are referencing other sheets in the source book

Is there a way to keep the Formulas intact to represent the
destination sheet?

Try tinkering in this way ..

First, ensure that all dependent sheetnames referenced by the formulas
within the sheets to be moved over, eg: Day14, etc actually *exist* within
the destination book before proceeding ..


In the source book,
(Do this one sheet at a time)

Select the entire sheet to be moved
Click Edit > Replace
Find what: =
Replace with: zzzzz
Click Replace All
(this effectively "neutralizes" all formulas on the sheet)

Then move the sheet over to the destination book,
and reverse the process ..

Select the entire sheet (which is copied over)
Click Edit > Replace
Find what: zzzzz
Replace with: =
Click Replace All
(Array formulas, if any, would need to be re-entered using CSE & re-filled)

Repeat for next sheet ...

Oh Max, I would be Nights Behind if I didn't have your powerfu
programming help YES, this works great for moving Sheets betwee
Workbooks without the File Link Traveling Behind ... Thanks Very Muc

Glad to hear it worked ! Like you now <g>, I've also learnt from and
benefited immeasurably from the many regular responders in these excel
newsgroups over the years. Besides reading answered posts, try plunging in
and answering some posts too. That's one good way to enjoy and learn around
here.
