Copying

When do you copy a spreadsheet on to a new page does it carry over the formular?

RE: copying

Hi Maryann,

Thank you for your Excel question.

Generally, everytime when you copy & paste a cell the formula carries over to the destination. However, it is important to make sure the references are still valid on the destination sheet.

For example, if on the original sheet, there is a formula in cell C1 reading =A1+B1.
If you then copy this formula but paste it on a new sheet in cell A1. You will not get a valid answer as there are no data above it for any calculation.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Excel tip:

Freeze Rows and Columns to keep lables displayed

You can freeze rows and columns in your worksheet so they don't move.

This allows you to keep row and column labels displayed on your screen as you move through a large worksheet.

Click below and/or to the right of the cell(s) you want to freeze. (NB. Excel freezes ALL the rows above and ALL the columns to left of the selected cell)

Click on the 'Windows' menu and selct 'Freeze Panes'.

Lines appear in your worksheet. The required rows and columns are frozen and remain on your screen as you move through your worksheet.

To unfreeze rows and columns, click on 'Window' menu and select 'Unfreeze Panes'.
