Complex sheets - how can I delete rows without destroying formulas?
I have complex excel sheets and want to remove some rows. When I simply
delete them, formulas in other cells are not corrected and still have a reference to the deleted cells. Any suggestions? Thanks, Sybille. |

That is normal Excel behaviour. If the cell no longer exists then you cannot use its value. Maybe you are trying to produce a running total down a column with, say, C3 containing =C2+B3 In that case you will get a #REF error if you delete row 2. Change the formula to =OFFSET(C3,-1,0)+B3 That will survive the deletion. Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - respond to newsgroup |
