Post From: Error copying formula referencing another sheet

I find this error when for example I am on Sheet1:
Steps to Reproduce 1. Create a new spreadsheet. Make it a quote spreadsheet. 2. Add an extra sheet to it, I named it "Underlying". 3. Make it a quote spreadsheet too. 4. On the 2nd Underlying sheet, add a few tickers like IBM AMD BYND TSLA AAPL 5. On the first sheet, enter a VLOOKUP formula like this: =VLOOKUP("BYND",Underlying!B:O,4,FALSE) 6. The formula should work properly. 7. Now right click the cell with the VLOOKUP formula, and click copy formula. 8. Paste formula into a different cell. 9. The formula has been altered to: =VLOOKUP("BYND",Underlying!B:Underlying!O,4,FALSE) Editing the formula slightly (for example changing the ticker) creates a #SYNTAX error Thank you for the detailed steps to reproduce this issue. This should be fixed in the next release. A related, but different issue:
Say in a quote spreadsheet I have a formula like this: =IF($U3=AF$1,$S3,"") If I copy this formula to the next column, the formula correctly changes to: =IF($U3=AG$1,$S3,"") However, the copied formula continues to calculate using the value in AF1 (instead of AG1). Copying and pasting a value or otherwise putting a new value into AG1 causes it to recalculate correctly. I was unable to reproduce this issue. Everything appeared to work as expected when I tried it. |
