Is it possible to copy and paste a formula without changing the cell references?

I am trying to paste a formula to a cell adjacent to where it currently is but when I do, the cell references in it change. I am trying to get exactly the same formula in the cell (without re-typing it).

Just another quick question, is it possible to make a large number of cell references 'absolute'?
Individual cell references in formulas may have four distinct states: relative, absolute column, absolute row, or absolute column and row. These are set using the popup menu on the reference itself. Click on the reference in the formula and choose one of the four states from the popup menu.
Once set, you can fill the formula into the rest of a column or row using the Fill Handle (small circle at the lower right of a selected cell). Cell references in the new copies of the formula will remain absolute or adjst to their new position dependent on the setting for each reference. You can also copy and paste the cell (single click to select it, command-C to copy) with the same results.
You can also copy/paste without changing the formula's cell references if you select the formula (Drag across the formula in the entry bar, copy, press tab to deselect and reconfirm the formula in the original cell) rather than the cell. Pasted into a new cell, the formula will appear as if you typed it in exactly as it was in the original cell—neither absolute references nor relative references will have changed.

  • Is it possible to copy and paste special add multimedia object to pdf?

    I am trying to add multiple audio files to a pdf.  Is there a way I can automate adding the interactive object into the same place on multiple mages with the same image poster, with same advanced settings. I am happy to select the audio file itself manually.  Really need to copy and paste in place the multimedia object on multiple pages.

    No.
    RMAs can be copied and pasted, but you cannot change the media file and cannot store the settings from one RMA as some form of 'preset' for others to use.

  • Is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

    In iTunes, is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

    Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
    Finale 2007: $500
    Sibelius 4: $500
    Jam Packs: $400
    Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
    PowerBook: $1700
    Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
    Logic Pro 7: Oy!
    As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
    Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

  • How to copy and paste a document typed in the EpicWrite (esp. a text typed in Kannada)on a Microsoft Word 2007 page?

    02-03-2012
    For last one week, I have been trying in vain to copy and paste a document typed in the Epic Write on a Word 2007 format, so that I can retrieve or modify it anytime without depending on the Internet connection. Whenever, I paste on a webpage, it cannot be edited and when I transfer that on a Word page, only words & figures in English appear and the rest of the text is displayed in blank square boxes.
    How I can overcome this problem?

    Are that pages in Unicode?

  • When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012.

    When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012.  I have tried changing the cell formats for that column from "automatic" to "text", but that doesn't fix it.  Is there a way to copy/paste this information without changing the original characters?

    If you know how many rows/columns you are planning to paste, then make the table that big BEFORE you paste.  In addition select all cells in the table by selecting any cell, then type the key combination <COMMAND>+a (for select all.
    Then use the cells inspector to make the cells formatted as text:
    I hope this helps

  • I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

    Question
    I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

    Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

  • Is it possible to copy and paste a review quiz from on book into another?

    I have a number of quizzes in an ibook which I have been using as a sand box.
    There are 10 questions in each quiz.
    I have copied and pasted a lot of the material from the trial ibook into a new book.
    I would like to copy and paste the quizzes from the first book into the new new ibook also.
    Is this possible?

    Its possible to make a duplicate of the quiz within an ibook, but I have tried CUT and PASTE but it does not work even though they are both colored black in the menu.
    As CUT and PASTE are colored black, I thought that it might somehow be possible to copy them from one ibook to another.
    I can copy the complete section containing the quiz from the first ibook to the second ibook. If I could then copy the review quiz to the appropriate section in the second ibook, and then delete the copied section, it might work.
    However, it still will not copy and paste the review quiz, only make a duplicate next to the original quiz.

  • Is it possible to copy and paste (or replicate) selected sections of a form to reduce form construction time?

    I am building a very large form which will have the same group of question response choices repeated multiple times in the form.  Is it possible to replicate/duplicate these sets of identical response choices (by say, copying and pasting)?  Thank you.

    Hi Ned,                                                                                                                                                                      B"D
    Thank you for giving an idea how to solve my problem.
    You suggested to save a page as an .html in Word.
    This is what I did:
    1. In Word I formated title as Heading 1.( Formating-->Styles and Formating)
    2. Saved the page  as an HTML file.
    3. When I  pasted  this page into Dreamweaver  <h1> TAG was displaced in the source code.

  • 100s of possible answers - copy and paste?

    Help! I have a question (drop down) on my form that has 100's of possible answers. I'm trying to copy and paste them into the answer possibilities in the form design but it ends up in one field instead of creating more? Is this possible or will I have to manually type them all out?

    Thanks for the ultra fast reply.
    Ugh... this is a major hurdle for us as the answers change frequently and we'd have to re-type several questions every month or so. Hope you can hook me up soon as I really want to switch to your platform.
    Another feature request would be to access our domain user list using LDAP for the answer possibilites. That way i'd never have to update it!

  • Is it possible to copy and paste folders -- to a new point in timeline?

    I have a flash file with various folders.  Using Flash 8 (but could import it into CS4 if absolutely necessary)
    I have a folder in the fla movie which contains various elements.
    I would like to copy  that folder and paste it into another position on the timeline.  (I will swap out some of the contents of the folder after I copy and paste it.
    However I don't see a way (at least in Flash 8) to copy and paste a folder.  Is it possible?  Is it possible in CS4? 
    Thanks

    no, but you can shift-click and drag to copy all the layers and frames that you want.  you can them paste the copied layers and frames wherever you like and then add those layers to a folder.

  • How do you copy and paste an adjustment layer to the center of a new doc?

    Hi,
    I know I can drag an adjustment layer to a new document, but it's never in the center. So I end up with an image with adjustments made, but not across the whole image. Therefore I have to eyeball and properly center the adjustment layer to make sure the adjustment sits in the center and is therefore made across the whole image.
    Is there a way, or a shortcut, to do this whole process much easier? For the steps I have to do and hassle, I usually skip copy and pasting an adjustment layer and just re-create a new one.
    They have to have made a way to do this, but I can't find the instructions online anywhere!
    thanks!
    Liz

    Forgot to add that it would be an adjustment layer with some kind of mask on it already. The mask is uncentered when copy and pasted which throws it off.
    I guess the same question would go towards doing the same for an object. How to copy and paste it over to a new doc, keeping its position within the document? is this possible?

  • Copy and Paste Multiple lines into a single cell

    Folks:
    I need to copy some plain text data into a single cell that has been merged with other cells to provider a larger unit; however, every time I copy and paste my data it gives me an error. In addition, if I paste the data into a single cell, the next line
    of data inserts into the next row.
    I understand that Alt+enter is a quick way to do what I want, but I already have the data typed out, and I do not want to type the data again.
    Example: (If possible I want in one single cell)
    Disks=32
    Total space=1.74TB
    Used space=1.20TB
    Free space=0.54TB
    Thank you!!!

    Is there any way to do this but keep the source formatting? I don't see any "Paste Special" options when you do it this way.
    That is not possible - when you copy/paste this way, you only copy the plain text, not the formatting. You'll have to apply formatting to the cell with pasted lines from scratch.
