HansVogelaar Thank you for answering. Unfortunately I can't share the file for privacy.
About the paste with link problem, I can show you this screenshot ..I know it's not a lot; as you can see, when I right-click on the cell (which belongs to a table) where I want to paste the data, the icon with the paperclip is not showing and I don't understand why. I can't select it even if I click on Paste special. The data I'm trying to move there come from another table where the cells have formulas inside of them that take values from a third sheet.Instead, about the circular reference error, inexplicably it vanished today when I re-opened the file.

So I'm afraid I don't know why it doesn't work for you. Sorry!
