Q: Why do I get '#REF!' or '0's when I copy data from one Excel spreadsheet to another?

A: When you copy data from one spreadsheet to another you are just copying the formulas and not the data. There is a way to copy and paste only the Data using a feature called Paste Special.

Here’s how you use it:

-In Excel

1. Highlight/Select the data you want to copy

2. Edit > Copy

3. Open a new spreadsheet (or even an existing one)

4. Place the cursor where you want the Data to be inserted

5. Edit > Paste Special…

6. Select ‘Values’

7. Click ‘OK’
