Copying sheet from one workbook to another workbook formula are not recalculating

Question

I checked the previous similar posts but couldnt find an answer for my issue.

I have an Excel file A where the code consist of :

• Ask a user to choose a file B via OpenDialogBox -ok
• Copy a sheet from file A to file B -ok

The problem is that all formulas display '#VALUE!" and I need to double-click on each of the cells to get the result.

I tried this

ActiveSheet.EnableCalculation = True

ActiveSheet.Calculate

and I even tried directly via Excel Calculate Now in Formula Tab.

It doesnt work.

Answer 1

One approach I have used in the past:

1. replace “=“ with xyxy

2. copy all cells or move / duplicate sheet to new workbook

3. replace xyxy with “=“

This allows all the formulae to be transferred as text and then when the xyxy to = replacement is done all the formulae get recalculated anyway.
