I have an annoying problem with Excel that I can't solve for the life of me!
In my workbook, I currently have several sheets that have identical
formats. I use the formula "=Sheet1!A1" to copy text data from one sheet
to the next.
I currently have all ten sheets copying the text data from Sheet1. I
want to change each sheet to copy from the sheet before it... a simple
change (I thought). So, for example, in Sheet3 I ~currently~ have
"=Sheet1!A1", but I want to change it to "=Sheet2!A1", and so on.
When I make the change, however, the result doesn't appear but rather
the text of the formula. So in Sheet3, instead of copying the name from
Sheet2, it shows exactly "=Sheet2!A1".
I've fiddled with the settings in Options, with no luck. Does anyone
know what could be causing this, and what fix there is?
Thanks very much for any responses!
