excel - Any way to copy/paste formulas in a range of cells but keep absolute? -
i have matrix of data , each cell formula. cell formulas relative, when copy , paste below, formulas off.
here's know works:
- change each cell's formula relative absolute
- copy text each formula, paste text below
i don't want go , f4 each part of every formula dozens of cells. there way copy paste large batch tell excel keep exact formulas written?
i bulk find , replace on original range, replacing "=" signs random text string guaranteed not occur anywhere within formulas, usual choice being "##".
this converts formulas text strings, after can paste range before performing reverse find , replace, i.e. replacing "##" "=", coerces excel treating strings actual formulas once more.
of course, if we're talking large amount of formulas, i.e. several thousand, operation can take while perform, since not excel required carry out find , replace on strings, calculate newly-created formulas.
